Icloud server certificate invalid

Does anyone else get repeated gray pop up boxes in Outlook saying the icloud server has an "invalid certificate" this has been happening for months.

This happened to me because my router was configured to use Open DNS servers (Primary 208.67.222.222, Secondary 208.67.220.220). Temporarily adjusting the DNS settings on the router to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 did the trick. Open DNS does weird things with certain certificates. Even if your router is configured to used something else, try the ones listed above to see if it makes a difference.

Profile Manager Enrollment - iOS - Server Certificate Invalid

I have been getting an error trying to enroll iOS devices into profile manager. My MacBook and iMac enroll just fine. However my iPhone and iPad do not.
When I enroll my MacBook Pro, I first log into https://(FQDN)/mydevices, select profiles, Install Trusted Profile. I then go back to devices, and click 'Enroll now'. When I check the Profiles section of System Preferences, I see that the 'Trusted Profile' has added two certificates refering to my server. I can only assume one matches the Self Signed I generated shortly after making my hostname public, and the other Apple Push generated for me.
However when I do this exact same process on my iPad/iPhone, when I attempt the 'Enroll Now' step, I get the error "The server certificate for "https://(FQDN)/devicesmanagement/api/device/ota_service" is invalid.
My searches for this issue have turned up issues close to this, but never exactly this, and the solutions don't seem to work for me. Here are some key points to note:
1. Tried demoting to standalone, re-promote to OD Master, then deleted all certificates, and regenerated all (including the Push cert from Apple)
2. Ran sudo changeip -checkhostname
3. DNS routes forward and reverse correctly in my local LAN
4. I had been getting "Remote Verification failed: (os/kern) failure" / "TEAVerifyCert() returned NULL" in my logs every 3 seconds until I did the steps listed in '1'
Looking forward to 10.7.1

@hombre7777
Thanks for the info. That makes sence what you are telling me. Their instuctions are kind of bland and dont make sence as much as they should.
The only thing that scares me on this one is now we need to put a device in the dmz....
So now upgrading our xserv to 10.7 when it becomes stable would now be using the magic triangle, and trying to only have 1 to manage osx machines / and now ios devices. Edit our wiki's thats already in place, and have important databases on filemaker is now going to reside in the dmz....
So someone wasn't thinking on this one!!! haha
It looks like we will have to seperate things now, so ios devices are managed on their own machine in the dmz with now a hole leaked in the firewall for AD to authenticate so we can pull users down to associate profiles with them.
Our osx machine will then contain a seperate spot to manage osx devices bound to user accounts, as well as manage filemaker and wiki's that are in use already.
It would be nice if they had figured out a way to do this a little different so we wern't opening holes in the firewall.
The funny thing is I was able to get the ipad to bind and enroll the very first time when i was on a vpn tunnel from my house trying things out.
So I know you can do it, without having to go public, although the push service wasn't working properly and I was not able to bind osx and enroll. So i stared over.
Ill play around to see what I can figure out later. Thanks for the help. If you find out the port numbers please let me know as well! Im not able to move the box to an outside firewall right now. I have to much to do. I can probably do that next week.

On Mini iPad cannot connect to iTunes or AppStore when signed in - works on other devices. iTunes states that server certificate invalid - any ideas?

When signed in with valid Apple ID have started receiving the following message when trying to open iTunes 'The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "itunes.apple.com" which could put your confidential information at risk.'
When I try to access teh App Store it says "Cannot connect to server"
When re-entering Apple ID and Password in Settings I get 'Cannot connect to iTunes Store'.
This is a new problem - I have been connected until very recently and the Apple ID and connectivity are fine on other devices...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
In the meantime ...........

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Verification Failed. The certificate for this server is invalid

I am trying to backup my iPad to iCloud. I get:
Verification Failed. The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "setup.icloud.com" which could put your confidential information at risk.
I am logged onto the wifi at work and I can surf the Internet so the connection is OK.
How do I begin to debug this issue?

Hey everyone,
I had this issue for few months already! I have a @me.com mail address, theoretically should be compatible with iCloud, just for some reason, it's not working!!
The mail all work fine on my macbook and iPhone, just the ipad kept showing the error message, the "verification failed".
The internet is wi-fi and it all working fine.
Now here is the solution.
Make sure you got internet connected fine.
Go Setting --> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --> Add Account --> Other
--> Add Mail Address -->
in the description, it will auto showing "Me", don't change it!
Go "Next" -->
in the Incoming Mail Server
Host Name --> Type "imap.mail.me.com"
Then your user name and password
in the Outgoing Mail Server
Host Name --> Type "smtp.mail.me.com"
Then your user name and password
Then next and save it.
This should work, it works for me,
Hope this helps!!

Verification failed certificate for this server is invalid

I attempt to log into the iCloud on my iPod over a WiFi connection and it gives me the Verification Failed. The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "setup.icloud.com" which could put your confidential information at risk.
Why am I getting this and how can I access the iCloud to backup my files?

Erase All Content and Settings, continually says the certificate for this server is invalid..
How can I over come this problem

Welcome to the Apple Community Siobhan.
Please try the following...
Go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (This removes your data from your device, but not from your account, it will be added back later).
Restart the device.
Sign in again (Settings > iCloud, don't use the 'Create New Apple ID' button).

Xcode - "The certificate for this server is invalid"

Hi,
I'm trying to log into my Xcode Server (with it's own self-signed certificate) from my work iMac, I receive the following message:
"The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “[server name]” which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the server anyway?"
The only option is "OK" which just prompts the login screen again, it doesn't allow me to "connect anyway". How do I get around this? :/

Certificate for server is Invalid ??

Hi,
Never had a problem with my mail before, but suddenly seems to have completely screwed up. Every time i try to send something it says
Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificate issued to “______”. The error was:
The certficate for the server is invalid.
You might be connecting to a computer that is pretending to be “smtp.___.com”, and putting your confidential information at risk.
You can try to send using a different server. All messages will use this server until you quit or change your network settings.
I know nothings been changed on the server and I haven't changed anything in mail. It's still working fine on my other mac pro, which has exactly the same settings.
Any ideas? it really ***** not being able to send mail.
Many thanks & have a great day =)

Since the HeRtbleed flaw was announced last week, a number of sites have been patching the flaw and then revocting the certificates to prevent fraudulent sites from pretending to be them. They should then issue a new certificate when you login to the legitimate site. Try logging in again.
For your browser, delete your current cache, history and certificates...logging in to sites will take longer until you get new certificates but will clean things up.

My 4th generation iPod Touch won't let me get on to the App Store. When I log on to iTunes, an alert pops up that says the certificate for the server is invalid, and that it may be a server pretending to be iTunes. What should I do?

My iPod won't let me on to the App Store, and whenever I go on to ITunes, an alert pops up that the certificate for the server is invalid, and that I may be connecting to a server that is only pretending to be iTunes.apple.com and my personal info may be at risk. I downloaded an emulator yesterday from coolroms.com but deleted the app this afternoon. I cleared my safari search data, my cookies and data, and web inspector, which still didn't work. I then proceeded to reset my iPod and then download the newest version of IOS 6.1.5 but yet still am having problems. Also to the App Store and iTunes, several other apps aren't working. Any help here?

Also, when I go on to safari, another alert pops up that safari cannot verify the identity of the website, anything that I type in to as common as google.com. It gives me 3 options to either cancel, look at details, and continue. I've looked at the details of the website of Google and it is legitimate the site. Any help?

The certificate for this server is invalid

Hi can anyone help? I get a message "cannot connect to iTunes Store" when selecting App Store on my iPod. Also if I try iTunes icon, I get "the certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "itunes.apple.com" which could put your confidential information at risk"
The steps I have taken so far, - connected to PC and updated software to iOS 6.1.3 (worked fine on PC)
Checked WiFi connection (fine)
Checked other apple products are working fine (yes)
Checked i am logged into apple id (yes)
Is there anything else I'm missing ??
Thanks aliian

Thanks to those contributing this fix -- had this issue on my son's iPad mini and was going crazy trying to figure it out!!
To answer the question of why this causes an issue: this is part of the standard security features of the internet - when you connect securely to a server (as the i-devices do when accessing itunes), it has an SSL Certificate which has an expiry date on it -- the device checks the certificate to try and make sure you aren't getting duped by an out of date certificate, and if your date is set too far in the future (my son's was in 2019!) then it looks like the expiry date is in the past and it won't let you connect..
Cheers!

I'm trying to timestamp (RFC 3161) a pdf using my own timestamp server hardware but always get an error: "Certificate invalid for use" ...

I'm trying to timestamp (RFC 3161) a pdf using my own timestamp server hardware but always get an error: "Certificate invalid for use" (Original text - pt_BR:O certificado não é válido para uso). How can I get more info on what I'm missing or whats wrong with the certificate?

Which Acrobat version are you using? Do you use "Document Timestamp" command? If so, do you get this error during the signing process and the signature is not created or signature is created and you get this error when it is validated? If the latter you can open signature properties, click on the "Advanced Properties" and in the next dialog on timestamp's "Show Certificate". If you get this error during the signing process do you get an alert that shows some cryptic info with a number? If you do provide the content of this alert.
Also which Acrobat version (including minor) are you using?
