Getting the certificate has an invalid signature error on one of my company's intranet sites.

Immediately after upgrading to FF35, I've lost the ability to access key parts of our intranet. I understand from other related forum questions that FF reps don't believe that typical users will encounter the problem of needing to access self-signed certificates over https. Here to tell you we do. The same issue keeps being posted on your forums regarding upgrades from FF31 onward (which at least allowed some user override). It looks like rather a lot of users have intranets that behave in the same way and would like to be able to use FF to access their own intranet sites. My company is highly unlikely to institute a massive security overhaul just to satisfy FF's sensitivities over the importance of this issue, especially when they have many other layers to protect themselves, so it's back to Chrome for me I guess.
Way to go.

there will be some fixes regarding this error code in firefox 36, but without access to the site in question it will be difficult to assess the problem and to know if those would apply in your case. therefore it would be best to report the issue to the it department of your company since they have more possibilities to investigate...
</blockquote>
This won't happen. Our IT department is not going to spend time and money instituting changes because a new FF update blocks their intranet certification. I'll just be told to use Chrome or IE, which is what I'll do next. Might check back when update 36 is out.

Trying to load a secure website, firefox says "Secure Connection Failed: Peer's certificate has an invalid signature."

I need to get on this website, which only allows Firefox and Safari for Mac OSX, but since I upgraded to the latest Firefox update, this is the message I get:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to teleserve.dlt.ri.gov.
Peer's certificate has an invalid signature.
(Error code: sec_error_bad_signature)
Help!

The site doesn't seem to be sending the correct intermediate certificate.
You can install this VeriSign intermediate certificate that works for me.

Firefox Displays "Peer's certificate has an invalid signature." SubCA shows "Could not trust this certificate for unknown reasons"

Using a 2-tier on-premise PKI. Offline Root CA (Standalone Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise) and online SubCA for issuing certificates (Domain-Joined Issuing CA)
ROOTCA certificate installed in the store and showing trusted (Uses a SHA2 signature and PKCS #1 SHA-256 With RSA Encryption algorithm)
ISSUINGCA certificate installed in the store and showing "Could not trust for unknown reasons" also has SHA2 signature with RSASSA-PSS algorithm
Issued certificate is for a Lync Front-End Web Server and when attempts are made to load the secure web connection. I receive the error "Peer's certificate has an invalid signature"
I've completely de-installed and re-installed Firefox. Removed and re-added the ROOT and SUBCA certs. Note: No issues when using same certs in Internet Explorer 8, 9 or 10 on the same system. Lync client also using same certificates, no issues. Only when accessing the Lync Web Services from Firefox.
Question: Does Firefox NSS Internal PCKS#11 Module support RSASSA-PSS SHA-256 with different hashes? How can I troubleshoot this further?

HI khetheri,
In order to better test the certificate may we request the certificate without the private keys? I have some backup from the security team if this is possible.
There is a temporary work around as well but I don't recommend turning on all certificates to make sure it is not a compatibility error(ish)
It is possible to check if it is being detected as a bad certificate in Firefox itself to eliminate compatibility issues.
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Search for '''browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert ''' and set it to true to try the certificate normally.
Looking forward to your reply!

Getting "The Document has not been opened" message on one environment

Hey, before I begin, here is some basic information that the sticky asked me to provide...
Version of Crystal Reports or BOE used in your development project = Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1. Specifically, the CrystalReportViewer that we are using is in CrystalDecisions.Web 12.0.1100.0
The development language and the version of the development language = C# .NET 3.5 using ASP .NET
The database you are connecting to = Microsoft SQL 2008 Database
The database connection type (OLE DB, ODBC, etc.). = OLE DB
Does the application work on your development computer? Yes, it works on all our environments (DEV, QA, Acceptance (a further level of QA) except for the newest pre-prod install that was done.
Okay, so we have a web application that involves running of crystal reports, which works great in most environments. Essentially a user chooses a report to run, configures their criteria and clicks generate then a non-modal popup window is opened with the CrystalReportViewer in it that actually displays the report to the user. We've recently deployed this app to our pre-production environment for final user-testing before it goes to full production.
However, what's happening is when the crystalreportviewer pop up appears, it just merely displays in simple text "The document has not been opened". If I hit refresh on the popup then the report actually does generate, but only after clicking refresh...which is a behavor not experienced anywhere else.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated (the only thing I found through googling is that that error can be generated if the server does not have the Microsoft C++ Redistributable package installed...our server has this, identically to all our other working servers)

Hi Scott,
Use ProcessMonitor from Microsoft and look in the logs to see if there are any Access Denied errors. Also look in the IIS logs and Event viewer to see if anything there is being logged.
Anti-virus software logs is another place to look....
Pop up blocker in the Browser maybe or possibly adding the new server name to the trusted list.... Domain permissions possibly...
If you browse the App from the Server does that work?

File has an Invalid format (Error no 11)

I get a file has an Invalid format (Error no 11) message when opening a text file in Diadem 11, is there any specifics you can add to the error # 11 message, to help me resolve the error.

Hi Atlas56,
How were you loading the ASCII file into DIAdem? Using a posted DataPlugin from the web? Using a DataPlugin from a colleague? Using the ASCII DataPlugin Wizard in DIAdem? Using the ASCII Import Wizard in DIAdem? Copying and pasting values into a VIEW table?
I'm not familiar with that error message,

But when I try to install the .ait file, it gives me the following error:

The install log says - "invalid signature error".
Appreciate any inputs.

The download has been removed."

When downloading updates for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed.

When downloading updated for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed. If I don't get that message I get a message saying that the download was unsuccesful and that in order to download I need to go to tools and then select dowload only. Please help I really want to update my iphone!

Thanks for helping out, but I already tried these steps.
I even tried this on a iMac with similar results. The only difference was that the errorcode was called 2001 instead of 21.
Today I took the phone to www.iphoneambulancen.dk. A guy (in Aarhus, Denmark) that specializes in iPhone repairs. I figured, that given his occupation he'd seen most errorcdes. Two hours later, he called me back, and told me that he had replaced the battery.
So, it turns out that a broken battery can cause this behaviour.
But thanks again

When updating iTunes to 11.4 I get the following error: "Files Shared by these updates" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed. Running Windows 7 64-bit.

When updating iTunes to 11.4 I get the following error: "Files Shared by these updates" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed. Running Windows 7 64-bit.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

When I try to update to Itunes 11 I get an error message saying that Itunes has an invalid signature and wont be installed. I use Windows 7.

Everytime I try to update to Itunes 11 I get an error message saying that Itunes has an invalid signature and can't be installed? I have tried to install it two times and get the same message each time. Any solutions to my problem?? Those who have installed ITUNES 11 is it hard to work with? maybe im lucky it wont update?? I don't know.

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

While downloading the newest version, I receive an error saying itunes has a invalid signature and wil not download. Help!!!!!!

I am assuming you are having difficulties installing the latest version of iTunes. Are you using a Windows PC or a Macintosh? Which version of Windows or OS X are you using?

I get an error "iTunes + QuickTime" has an invalid signature while updating from 10.1 to 10.2.2

I get an error "iTunes QuickTime" has an invalid signature. The download has been removed. When trying to update from version 10.1 to 10.2.2. I have a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 OS. I have tried repairing all the Apple software on the laptop. What do I need to do to get this updated?

I have not had this problem before but the latest update to iTunes + Quicktime, offered today, puts me in the same situation.
The web is covered with reports of this issue over the years, always "iTunes + Quicktime has an invalid signature", but nothing I can see which is a good fix for the problem.
Tried chkdisk, install manually doesn't work, the installer just keeps trying.
Tried installing QT 7.6.4 independently from the Apple download page, that didn't help either.
If this is so prevalent, why isn't there more on the main Apple site about it?
