Help can't access secure sites?

Hi i've had this ongoing problem for the last year where by i can access sites fine with the web proxy as long as they are not secure sites like hotmail etc... i think it must be something to do with the ssl settings and having a certificate. Has anybody run into this problem and is there a workaround so you can make your own certificate so clients can access secure sites?

There isn't enough information in your post to answer your question directly.
For starters, what error message do you get? That will go a long way to identifying the problem.
For example, it could be that your proxy is not configured to handle SSL traffic. It could be that your machine isn't configured to use the proxy for SSL (there are separate settings for HTTP and HTTPS proxy servers).

  • Strange WLAN issue - can't access secure sites

    Hi!
    I've just bought a Toshiba L100-120. Everything is fine except the following.
    I can't access secure sites with the built-in Intel 3945abg device. Other sites are OK.
    If i connect LAN, everything is fine. If I insert my PCMCIA-wireless card, also everything works. The only problem is: to access secure sites with the Intel wireless device.
    I already changed the drivers, I tried everything. It's very strange :(
    Many thanks if anybody has an idea!!!!

    Hi
    Im a little bit confused. Do you mean the secured WLan or secured internet websites????
    If you cannot enter the secured, encrypted WLan you need to enter the right key.
    In other case if some websites are not displayed you could try to change the IE privacy settings for the Internet zone.

  • Can't access secure sites from safari

    I'm writing this message from my PC at home because I could not access the message board on my mac at work. At any rate, I noticed Sunday that I could not access any secure web sites from my mac (hotmail, aol, etc.) It worked fine a couple of weeks ago before I went on vacation. We had a 2 1/2 day work week last week because of Thanksgiving, so I didn't notice the problem until this past Sunday. I'm not sure when I installed the latest update, but I know that I did install all of them.
    I've searched the forums for information about these symptoms, and have found several similar ones, but none of their solutions have worked for me. It was hard to go back and reference the formus due to having to restart my comptuer numerous times as directed, and because of the similarity of the search strings used to find the particular topic to begin with.
    I saw several solutions involving the emptying of caches, cookies, and the like. I saw another relating to an iTunes issue of not being able to access the online store. Yes, I tried that as well and am not able to access the store on my mac. The situation is not resolved by using Firefox either. Basically, I'm shut out of anything that I have to "Login" to. Any suggestions?
    iMac G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    I've been having a similar problem on my home Mac for a couple weeks. I am not having this problem with my home PC, and the two computers share a router. Even weirder, my husband uses this laptop and he is not having the same problems. Just my userID (the admin one) is afflicted.
    Safari and iTunes are still intractable. The iChat problem cleared while I was working on the others.
    I switched to Firefox and can now log in to secure connections with it. I had to make Firefox the default browser and knock Safari out of the dock before it worked.
    Here are the error messages:
    From Safari, from which I get a similar message whenever I try to log in to any secure connection:
    Safari can’t open the page “https://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Welcome.woa/1158/wa/authenticate?cty=US&aff=consu mer&rid=SKV2Bp4pL79FcdhJ&lang=en” because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “www.mac.com”.
    From iTunes when I try to play any of my purchases, change my password:
    "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The requested keychain was invalid. Open Keychain Access and run Keychain First Aid, then try again."
    Needless to say, nothing I've been able to both find and understand has helped. Apple support has not been any use.

  • Can't Access Secure (HTTPS) Sites On One Account, FF or Safari???

    Hello Mac Fans
    First let me say I'm new to Mac. On one account I can't access secures sites like I can in the admin account. This may be a function of rights but am not sure? All updates have been done.
    I can't login to this forum, my MobileMe account or my bank for example. I had to change to my other account or gasp, use a PC to post this message.
    I installed FireFox trying to isolate the problem to Safari but that didn't pan out, I can't get to HTTPS pages in FF either.
    I turned off Little Snitch thinking I might have denied something by mistake but that didn't help. I checked the rules and found nothing that wasn't allowed.
    Nothing was changed in the router. I just turned on Mac and it worked. The iMac is connected to the router via ethernet cable.
    I've used the search function and tried a few things that have been recommended for others but they didn't help me. I went to the keychain and did a repair, although it didn't find any problem. I over rode a couple keys to always allow them (Apple site stuff) and I ran the disk utility to no avail.
    For reference I will post the information for both Safari and FF.
    Safari:
    Safari can’t open the page “https://support.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/ACAuthWeb.woa/wa/login?
    appIdKey=2ddbca23a85d20e5bf7478812379ae23&path=/login.jspa%3FsuccessURL%3D/index .jspa” because Safari can’t

    Safari can’t open the page “https://www.mln'sbank.com/” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server
    “www.mln'sbank.com”.

    rl=” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “auth.apple.com”.
    FireFox:
    The connection was interrupted
    The connection to support.apple.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    I've done a lot of snooping around on this forum and have ran out of ideas so now I must ask for help.
    Thanks

    I think I may have found the problem. It's embarrassing to find it minutes after posting the message yet I tried to solve it off and on for three days! My brother who is a 20 year Mac user has been trying to help me too. I guess it's true what they say... sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. LOL
    I turned off the parental controls. What I don't understand is that the no website restrictions box was checked. To me this means I should be able to go to any site I wanted. Can anyone explain why I couldn't got to a HTTPS page on a parental controlled account even though there were no restrictions placed on it?
    It's late and I need sleep. I'll leave this open for now until I have more time to test it.

  • Reset Safari -- Now I Can No Longer Access Secure Sites Or iTunes Store.

    Hi, A few days ago I reset Safari (I'm still not sure why... boredom??). Well, now I'm paying for it. Now I can't access secure sites (such as gmail, bank accounts, etc.). in Safari. When trying to access a secure site I get an error window that reads something along the lines of: "Safari can’t open the page because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server." Even more annoying, I can't access my account on iTunes or access the iTunes store. When trying to do so an error window pops up that reads: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. The requested keychain was invalid. Open keychain access and run Keychain first aid, then try again."... Did all that. No help. Incidentally, all my keychains are now gone).
    I tried accessing the secure sites through Firefox, which still works fine. But the iTunes problem persists no matter what.
    Has anyone else been encountered these same problems or know what I need to do to fix them? Any advice would be appreciated. I'm stuck!
    Thanks in advance!

    Still having this problem - is there no one out there who can help me? Surely someone must have had this happen before, no? You're all making me feel really stupid!!

  • Safari and iTunes having problems accessing secure sites

    I've been having problems with iTunes not being able to access the iTunes Store. I can browse the store but can not add anything to my shopping cart. I decided it was time to see if Safari was having problems with secure sites and sure enough I discovered that it can not access secure sites either. The only way I've been able to access secure sites is via Firefox.
    A typical scenerio is that I can not log onto my Apple ID. As soon as I click on the "sign in ID" link I get a pop-up stating that a secure connection to store.apple.com can not be established.
    So far I've tried clearing the Safari cache and deleting site keys from my stored key chains. Nothing helps.
    I'm running Safari 1.3.1 and iTunes 4.9.

    Can anyone help?

  • Help - can't access my staging web site

    Hello
    A while back I wrote in seeking advice re: losing my access to a staging web site - Camelot kindly wrote the following, which I did but it didn't work...
    "Provided you're an admin on your system the easiest way is to open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and run the command:
    sudo echo "11.11.111.111 www.ekekekek.com" >> /etc/hosts
    exactly as written (changing the IP address if you need to). This command uses sudo to elevate your privileges. You'll be asked to authenticate by typing in your password (which won't be visible), then it'll run the 'echo' command which simply prints whatever's within the quotes and appends it to the file /etc/hosts. "
    Very helpful, but it didn't give me access to my staging site...last week my mac G5 crashed and had a kernel panic - spent about 1 1/2 days on the phone with half a dozen Apple techs trying to fix - it's fixed but now for whatever reason I can't access my Staging web site through any browser, though our live site is OK from any browser.
    So what can I do to again have access to the staging site? Are there more steps I should know in addition to Camelot's directions? What?
    I'm not a techy at all but designer so the more specific, very much appreciated.
    Thanks very much
    Kent

    OK so I figured out that I was supposed to go to
    Terminal/file/New Command to type in Camelot's code -
    which I did, got the password prompt, wrote it, it
    accepted it and came back with this: (the IP and name
    below, I've changed for this post only)
    "12.12.121.271 www.mycertainname.com">>/etc/hosts
    [Process completed]
    Hmm. That looks a little odd to me. First off, did you include the "sudo echo" part at the beginning from Camelot's post? I'm also a little curious about the "[process completed]" part. Usually, I come straight back to the prompt.
    But when I now go to type in my staging site's name
    in the browser, I get another web site which has the
    same name, still can't access this site of mine.
    I don't give my staging sites the same names, so I'm not sure how that would work if it had the same name as another site. For example, if I have a domain called "mydomain.com," the real web server would be "www.mydomain.com" and my staging server would be
    something like "staging.mydomain.com." That way, if I want to look at the real site, I type in one address. I type in the other if I want the staging server. You can't (easily) have the same text address (www.mydomain.com) resolve to different IP addresses. That requires some special DNS tricks that are beyond the abilities of the /etc/hosts file.
    At this point, re-run this Terminal command and post the results:
    <pre class="command">cat /etc/hosts</pre>Also, I can't figure out how to do this from the Network Utility, but you can check and see where your Mac is getting its lookup information by using another Terminal program called lookupd. You can also use it to flush the DNS cache, in case that's what's causing it to go to the other site. To flush the cache, type this in the Terminal at the prompt:
    <pre class="command">sudo lookupd -flushcache</pre>You should just get the prompt back when it's done. There's no feedback.
    To check where your Mac is getting its lookups, you use lookupd in an interactive mode. First, you type:
    <pre class="command">lookupd -d</pre>At the prompt in the Terminal window. Then you'll get a few lines of text and a ">" prompt. Type "hostWithName", then a space and your host's name, so it looks like this:
    <pre class="command">> hostWithName: www.apple.com</pre>When you hit the enter key, it'll do the lookup and give you a few lines information:
    <pre class="command">Dictionary: "DNS: host www.apple.com.akadns.net"
    lookup_DNSdomain: apple.com.akadns.net
    lookup_DNSserver: 208.67.222.222
    lookup_DNS_time_tolive: 58
    lookup_DNStimestamp: 1167796142
    lookupagent: DNSAgent
    lookup_infosystem: DNS
    interface: 4
    ip_address: 17.112.152.32
    name: www.apple.com.akadns.net www.apple.com
    + Category: host
    + Time to live: 43200
    + Age: 0 (expires in 43200 seconds)
    + Negative: No
    + Cache hits: 0
    + Retain count: 4</pre>Notice how it mentions DNS servers in several places, including "DNSAgent". That meant it used the DNS server at 208.67.222.222 to find the address for www.apple.com. Now, if I try it with a staging server (hosted on my iMac in this case), see what happens:
    <pre class="command">> hostWithName: test.mydomain.com
    Dictionary: "FF: host test.mydomain.com"
    lookupagent: FFAgent
    lookupvalidation: /etc/hosts 2 1166756640
    ip_address: 127.0.0.1
    name: test.mydomain.com
    + Category: host
    + Time to live: 43200
    + Age: 0 (expires in 43200 seconds)
    + Negative: No
    + Cache hits: 0
    + Retain count: 3</pre>Now, see how it says it looked it up using the FFAgent (Flat File), and even says it got it from /etc/hosts? If you're seeing anything except for FFAgent, then it's not looking in /etc/hosts for the info. There are ways to change the lookup order lookupd uses, but I'm pretty certain it was already set to use the flat files before DNS way before Panther.
    To quit the lookupd program, just type "quit" at the prompt.

    please help. my address bar has vanished. i have no idea how to retrieve it, so can only access bookmarked sites when using firefox.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
    * Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • Can't access some sites when using Aiport Express, why?

    I'm using Windows 7 and my router is a wireless Apple Airport Express that is approximately two years old. Suddenly I can't access some sites (for example www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se, or www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk, some streamed tv-shows on svtplay.se, and a number of other random sites) when connecting to internet with my router. It worked good until recently and I'm fairly sure this problem emerged when my ISP upgraded from 10/10mbit to 100/10mbit speed. Most other sites like facebook and google works fine.
    When using my network cable to connect to internet everything works fine and I can access these sites.
    Firmware is current and I've tried reseting the router to factory defaults.
    Tried different browsers, and I can't ping the "blocked" sites either. Tracert www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se starts with 10.0.0.1 and continues through a number of long addresses until it says timeout. The last working address before timeout was sth-tcy-ipcore01-ge-0-2-0.neq.dgcsystems.net [83.241.252.13], if it matters. Tracert www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk also eventually gives me a timeout.
    When the network cable is plugged in, I still get timeout on tracert www.sthlm.friskissvettis.se even though I can access the site in Chrome. Weird. www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk doesn't give me a tracert timeout when the cable is plugged in, and I can access the site as usual.
    I've tried changing DNS servers to use opendns servers instead, but to no use.
    I've tried pinging these two sites with a lower MTU packet size (with this method: http://www.richard-slater.co.uk/archives/2009/10/23/change-your-mtu-under-vista- or-windows-7/), but still can't access them through ping...
    I don't know what to do anymore.... any suggestions???

    How can i access security settings to stop PDF being copied?
    I'm trying to secure my documents so others can not convert file to word or copy and paste information to edit

    Keep in mind (and Acrobat will alert you to this fact) that protections that you set in Acrobat are enforced by all Adobe products but the 3rd-party PDF Viewers may ignore them. There are even Web sites that will strip protections that you set in Acrobat. This is not a reliable technology these days. Acrobat keeps it mostly for backward compatibility for those users who use only Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

  • Firefox shows Errror Code "ssl_error_bad_mac_read" when trying to access Secure Sites

    When I try to access secures sites (URLs with https) Firefox shows me the error code "ssl_error_bad_mac_read".
    This problem '''only''' appears '''in Firefox not in Internet Explorer''' and it '''also''' appears when I use Firefox in '''Secure Mode'''.
    The problem appeared this morning for the first time, until yesterday everything worked fine and I didn't install or update any new PlugIns, Addons, Firewalls or something like that.
    I tried to make the SSL-Test from Boston University you propose on your help page and couldn't access that page either.
    I use Firefox with the version 5.0 and would be glad to receive any hint to solve the problem.

    Open Firefox -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Encryption

  • Can't access some sites on DSL - Westell 37W or Verizon connection issue?

    I've been experiencing a problem with Verizon's DSL service for the last few days. I have a brand new Dell Dimension with Windows XP hooked up a Westell 327W router (hard - wired) and other laptops running both Vista and XP. All of a sudden, all the users on the same network can't access certain sites. I initially uninstalled AVG on my computer thinking that may have something to do with blocking these websites (aa.com, orbitz.com), and then I realized that some of the laptops don't have any anti-virus programs and still have the same problem. The only thing in common is that they run on the same network off of the same router. Which is when I called Verizon, only to hear from them that they don't block websites, and that the problem is something related to the computer. When I tried explaining that other users also have the same problem (and it is only within the last 5 days), they still won't accept that something is wrong with the router/DSL connection. I checked the firewall settings for the router and they are turned off. Can someone please help me? Am I wrong in assuming that the problem is on Verizon's side?

    I appear to be having the same problem (erratic browser connections) as you guys. I was speaking with a tech support person last night who after having me replace Internet Explorer with Firefox (and still having the same issues) told me that the problem was with my computer. I reside in North Jersey as well. This morning, while riding to work I was speaking with a bus-mate and told him about my internet problem. He lives a few blocks away and told me that he has been experiencing the same thing for about a week and that he knows of another person with the same issue. So it appears to me that it’s some sort of Verizon problem. I tried to recap things and send them an e:mail a little earlier, but I think it fell on deaf eyes. I will try to call them later this evening and will report back to this forum tomorrow.
