I'm having website certificate problems.

Recently, when I try to purchased anything on eBay, a box pops up stating:
"The certificate for this website was signed by an unknown certifying authority. you might be connecting
to a website that is pretending to be checkout.payments.ebay.com....."
Is there something i can do about this? For now, I use Firefox and don't have any certificate problems but
I'd prefer to use Safari.
Thanks

This question has nothing to do with iBooks, nor anything to do with OS X Server — this question is really getting bounced around the forums, too! — and probably nothing to do with the particular web browser you're using.
This is either something weird with local DNS or the host you're connecting to (that would be bad), or something weird with the certificate being presented by the eBay web site you're accessing:
Launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the command
dig +short checkout.payments.ebay.com
Here's an example of what that command looks like, with the $ prompt and with the output shown before the next $ prompt:
$ dig +short checkout.payments.ebay.com
66.211.180.57
66.135.215.197
$
I've posted the two IP addresses that I get from that command.
If you get those two addresses, it's probably eBay's error. 
If not, post what you get for IP addresses.
If you don't get anything output from the command, or if you get something different from those two hosts, you might have an issue with your local DNS setup.

    Your System Details are showing Fun Web Products. Suggest you look in Add-ons - Extensions and Plug-ins, and Control Panel>Add/Remove programs or >(newer version) Programs and Features. You could also do a search of your computer.
    Fun Web Products(associated with MyWebSearch) always seems to cause problems, Alexa does, too, but less often - there may be conflicts.
    I'm not an expert on these two products. I'm afraid I can only alert you to the problems. Google will show you plenty of evidence of problems. You might also try the Search Firefox Help box above - a gold mine but it usually requires a lot of digging.
    You can start Firefox in Safe Mode - Hold Shift Key down as you double click on the Firefox icon>ignore the page that opens>Continue. If that improves things you could do a little troubleshooting(Safe Mode, Problematic extensions etc), use default theme, -

  • Safari client certificate problem w/ Canada Post website

    I am using OSX 10.8.5 and Safari 6.1.1
    I'm trying to use the Canada Post website for online shipping (ship-in-a-click) via the site:
    http://www.canadapost.ca/personal/tools/cst/intro-e.asp
    When I choose my option (in this case INTERNATIONAL) a pop-up opens asking to select a client certificate. A list of five certificates, which are all apparently valid and not expired, is given. No matter which certificate I select I cannot get past this pop up window. It just pops back up again.
    The certificates are all in the form:
    com.apple.idms.appleid.prd. then a very lengthy alpha numeric string
    From what I have read with certificate problems you can just delete them and next time you visit the site will ask you to select a new one. However, in this case, with all the certificates seemingly being valid, I don't think that will be the solution. Although, I am a complete novice when it comes to these issues.
    Can anybody suggest something other than using Firefox/Chrome etc. although if that is the ONLY choice then so be it. But surely this can be solved within Safari, no? The rest of the Canada Post site seems to behave OK with Safari.
    Thank you.

    Neither.  I am on Mavericks and it shows the exact same issue, so it neither fixes the problem or intoduces new ones, at least with my site.
    I also noticed that it is somewhat based on the loction (IP) of the server because on my local laptop (During development) and on our QA server would try and send a certificate that it should not send.  HOWEVER once we implemented the SSL client certificate on our production server it would no longer send the certificate.  I have no idea why and speculate that it is because our production server has a public IP.
    If you want you can use my site and see if the problem persists for you there (http://whf.to); however given the seemingly random why Safari decides to send certificates you may or may not see the issue.  If Safari does indeed send a certificate you should get an error page that details what happened (in somewhat lay-terms).
    Sorry that Mavericks doesn't fix the issue for you.

  • OS X Safari and Hotmail Certificate Problem

    Hello Apple discussions,I Am having problems accessing part of a microsoft hotmail account which explains below
    I Have a problem with my hotmail Web account Using OS X 10.6.4 Safari 5.0 when I Try adding another email account to my hotmail account where it says: Add an e-mail account on the left side pane of hotmail. when I Click on Add an e-mail account I Get the error message for a Certificate problem: safari cannot verify the identity of the website ¨col0-sec.mail.live.com¨ I Am using OS X 10.6.4 and Safari 5.0. I Have tried using a earlier version of safari but the same problem occurred so I Tried using Google Chrome (most recent) and Opera Browsers for MAC and with no luck, the exact same problem. so I Tried adding an email account using a windows xp machine, it had no problem adding an email account so the problem seems to be OS X problem. It seems to be something wrong with the certificate for validation on the Microsoft website I Think.I Can send a screen shot of the entire message that popped up for the invalid certificate if needed to fix this problem.

    Thought of something else you might try.
    Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select "My Certificates" or on the left.
    If you see a Microsoft/Hotmail certificate, double click that. Click the gray disclosure triangle so
    it faces down. Click the pop up menu next to: When using this certificate and set it to: Always Trust.
    Relaunch Safari and try logging into your Hotmail account.

  • SSL client certificate problem with exchange owa

    Since a week I've been having the strangest problem when trying to connect to an exchange webmail server.
    When I try to log on to the server, I now get a a safari warning telling me that the website requests a client certificate and prompts me to choose one.
    Safari presents me with a few .mac and mobileme certificates, none of which are valid for this site obviously.
    I cannot get through this dialog because it seems I do not have the required certificate.
    What baffles me though, is that when I disable my mobileme settings in system preferences, safari connects to the exchange webmail perfectly without ever prompting me for a certificate.
    I do not understand what mobileme has to do with this exchange server at all.
    What is even more strange is that I have been having this on 4 different mac's here at home, with two different user accounts on the exchange server, and I have a family mobileme pack... so every system is a little different, but they all behave exactly the same.
    Can anybody point in the right direction please ?
    For what it's worth, I could have installed a 10.7.1 update on one of the systems which may have caused this, but definatly not on all 4 at the same time....
    Another strange bit, when setting up the exchange server inside mail.app, it works perfectly...

  • SSL + Certificate problems solved

    To all of you who are having problems with Weblogic and Verisign Certificates.....
    Here is what I got from BEA:
    To solve this problem, review the corresponding configuration for our demo certificates
    and
    then proceed to similar Verisign setups.
    Once WLS 6.0 is started, proceed to a browser and open the console. Move to the
    servers
    tree, expand it, chose your server and move to its SSL tab.
    WLS demo 512 bit certificate
    1. Server Key File Name -> demokey.pem
    2. Server Certificate File Name -> democert.pem
    3. Server Certificate Chain File Name -> ca.pem
    WLS 1024 bit Demo Certificate
    1. Server Key File Name -> demokey1024.pem
    2. Server Certificate File Name -> democert1024.pem
    3. Server Certificate Chain File Name -> ca1024.pem
    Trial Verisign Certificates - 2 week expiration
    When you initially make the request, the following two files are generated:
    a. mycomputer_bea_com-key.der
    b. mycomputer_bea_com-1024cert.pem
    Once Verisign acknowledges the request, you are given instructions to install
    the
    certificate as well as use test CA's for each browser, IE and Netscape. You will
    need to
    save the test CA and use this in the SSL configuration.
    1. Server Key File Name -> mycomputer_bea_com-key.der
    2. Server Certificate File Name -> mycomputer_bea_com-1024cert.pem
    3. Server Certificate Chain File Name -> testca.der (obtained from the installation
    to each
    client browser)
    Purchased 1 year 1024 bit certificate from Verisign.
    As in the case of the trial certificate, much is the same except that no CA is
    forwarded.
    1. Server Key File Name -> mycomputer_bea_com-key.der
    2. Server Certificate File Name -> mycomputer_bea_com-1024cert.pem
    Now what to specify as the CA?
    Using any of the other CA's will generate the modulus exception. The only recourse
    in this
    event is to do the following:
    1. go to http://www.verisign.com/repository/root.html
    You'll find Class I to Class III root certificates and a Server CA.
    Take the plain text Server CA and save this to a file.
    2. Use a conversion utility, which can be found within OpenSSL, to convert the
    plain text
    to a .der format.
    3. Once the conversion is complete, this CA.der can be used as the Server Certificate
    Chain
    File Name.

  • My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget

    My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget that I can not figure out how to correct.
    I created a website for a client and inserted a Contact Form widget on their 'Contact Us' page. Whenever anyone uses the form, the e-mail my client receive shows my e-mail address as the sender. So, when they 'reply' to the e-mail, the reply is sent to me and not the person who sent the original message. This creates a major problem in that I get barraged with e-mail replies while my client's potential customers go without a response.
    When I look at  'Site Manager > System E-Mails > Workflow Information > E-mail From Address' on the site's Admin Console, it shows my e-mail information. Is this is what needs to be changed?  If it is, what needs to be placed in that field so that the e-mail my client receives shows the senders e-mail information in the 'From' field.  My client wants to be able to click reply and have the message sent to the right party. They would be very upset if they have to cut and past the senders e-mail address from the body text on every contact they receive.
    Their feeling is that if I can't find a way to make the contact form work the way it should, then it's useless to them.
    Can anyone help me figure this out? I really don't want to disappoint my first client.

    Are you on a plan that has the CRM feature that stores your customers' data? If so, the idea of the contact form is that you'll receive a notification that there's been an inquiry filled out on your contact form and there should be a link in that email notification that leads to the "Case" that was created when that customer filled out a contact form.  You can click that link and visit the case for that customer in your BC site and reply to them from there so that all of the correspondence is logged in the CRM for safe-keeping and for your records.
    If your client finds this is too much work to login to BC to reply every time, then you should check to see if you have the "Customer Service Ticketing" feature on your hosting plan.  This is a feature where you create a dedicated email account (like [email protected]) and the BC system will automatically login to that email account and pull any emails in that inbox and convert them to a customer case for the sender of the email and then it will send out a notification via email to any of the BC Admin users you delegate as "Customer Service Agents".  Since the CST integrates with the BC CRM it lets you reply directly within the email-- but when you reply it will be going to that same email address dedicated to the CST but once the CST service checks your email again and sees that you replied to this inquiry it will log your reply against the customer's case and sends your reply via email back to them so that all the correspondance gets logged on BC's CRM but you can still reply via email.
    There's no way to use the default web forms to update the "From" or "Reply-To" address.. it must come from an approved email address to avoid spam issues.  On most web services you cannot change the "from" address anyway but usually you can at least specify the "Reply-To" address so that when someone hits "reply" in their email client it will reply to whoever you setup as the "Reply-To" address.
    Here's some more information about CST: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/customer-service-ticketing.html?bc-partner
    I don't think the CST feature is in the webMarketing BC plan-- I think it's only in the webCommerce plan so if you have less than an webCommerce plan you have to tell your client to reply through BC by clicking the link in the notification they get.  You can justify it by saying its one or two more steps but it keeps the entire convo on record in their CRM for easy referral later.

  • Website images problem

  • Safari won't trust ANY website certificate, even after I tell it to, and i can't connect to the APP store even though I'm clearly connected to the internet.  This all started immediately following a RAM upgrade.  Please advise.

    Safari won't trust ANY website certificate, even after I tell it to (click Always trust this site option), and i can't connect to the APP store even though I'm clearly connected to the internet.  This all started immediately following a RAM upgrade.  Please advise.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. If the problem isn't solved, ask for further instructions.
    1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
    2. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter.
    3. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
    4. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.

  • Security Upgrade 2007-002 (PPC) created website access problems?

    I recently installed this upgrade, and I think it may be causing interference accessing certain websites, namely motleyfool.com, hotmail.com, and firstrade.com. I'm having this difficulty on multiple machines.
    Is anyone else having this same problem?

    Yes, and a little relieved to see I'm not the only one. I installed the upgrade 3 days ago, and I'm having major website access problems (including the one from the website co. I WORK for) and it has totally messed up my Entourage accounts. I can't send/receive any mail from one, and only intermittently from the other. Almost 2 hours with an Apple tech earlier to be told that the problem is probably with the upgrade and the only way to fix it is to archive and install. That seem like a nightmare, I'll have to reinstall everything I've installed in the last 2 years and update, customize, etc. Anyone have a better solution? Please, I'm desperate.

    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?

  • HT6030 Having major Mail problems since I updated Maverick on my 27" iMac. Delays deleting emails and moving emails to other folders. Anyone else having this issue? If so, any known fixes?

    I have an iMac that around 3 years old. Just installed Mavericks when it first was released. I also have a Time Capsule (2TB) that runs my network to my other three Apple devices: iPad2, iPhone 5s and a new Apple TV. Having major Mail issues here. Everything is very delayed and extremely slow. Moving emails to other folders sometimes takes a few minutes and the same goes for deleting emails. Delete them and they don't go into the trash for several minutes. It's getting very frustrating to say the least. Mail also quits very often. Mail also will freeze with the little color ball spinning, therefore I would have to force quit Mail. When the errors occur, it's automatically sent to Apple but there hasn't been an update since 10.9.1 that has fixed it. Apparently, that update was only for gmail issues. Anyone having the same problem? Fixes please?

    I have my entire network and all Apple devices setup as IMAP, not POP. If your settings are setup as a POP account on all devices, emails will not erase when deleted on your other devices. Just something to keep in mind. I'm sure you're aware of this but just wanted to throw it out there. Google IMAP vs POP. However, it seems like your having the same issues as I am. I'm going to swing by an Apple store by me and speak to the genius bar and see if they can come up with something or are aware of this issue. Keep you posted.

  • I am having a DNS problem with my computer. My laptop connects to the internet and my skype works normally but when i try to surf the web it says "DNS Look up failed".

    MY PROBLEM
    I am having a DNS problem with my laptop. It connects normally to th e wifi internet but when i try to surf the net it says "DNS Look up failed"
    This problem only occurs when with the internet at my house. whenever i connect elsewhere my computer works normally. My ipod, iphone, tablet and other friends computers work normally when they are connected to my internet. i use dmy neigbours nework a couple of times from my house and it wrks normally.
    Also when i turn my laptop on or off i can browse for a few minutes or seconds before it fails again. My skype works like there is no problem
    WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE IT
    I have tried changing the DNS, i used open DNS and google free DNS and it still didnt make a difference.
    I have rebooted router many times, nothing
    I have changed my home router, nothing
    I backed up my computer, resored everything it to factory setting and put everything back on; still nothing
    Run a diagnostics at 'Best buy' and they say nothing is wrong; but i know there is something wrong with the DNS
    I have tried different "sudo" type of codes on my comupter from stuff i got online and nothign has proved fruitful yet.
    i tried using safari, Google chrome and firefox, all not loading
    WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS?

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

    I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

    Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.
