IPhone: Secure Connection Failed...what to do?

Hi,
I'm trying to set up my email account on my iPhone and I'm having difficulties doing it. I have entered the information correctly many times now and I get the same result. The account is a POP account, I believe associated with squirrlemail some how, at least that who my webmail comes through.
The message I get from my iPhone is the following:
"Secure Connection Failed
The certificate for 'Nick Hall Photography' may not be valid"
If anyone can help me I would be most greatful.
Warm regards,
Nick

Yahoo mail? They have had problems today.

What do we change on windows server 2k8 iis7 to fix "Secure Connection Failed" that is appearing with version 37 and 37.0.1?

We host https://www.prereg.net and the recent updates (version 37 and 37.0.1) have caused a "Secure Connection Failed" message to appear. We have contacted our hosting company and our SSL provider (geotrust) and neither of them are able to help with this issue. Can anyone tell us what we might need to alter on our server in order to fix this issue? We have a valid certificate and we have SSL3 and TLS 1.2 enabled.
Thank you very much for your help

We are receiving a "Secure Connection Failed" error message when using Firefox Version 37.01. What is the remedy?

We have multiple websites that do not launch now as a result of the recent upgrade from Firefox version 36.04 to version 37.01. We received "Secure Connection Failed" error messages which indicate that the connection was interrupted while the page was loading, and that the page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please explain why this is happening, and if a fix will be issued soon by Mozilla, as everything was operating normally prior to the most recent Firefox upgrade. Alternatively, please identify browser settings that can/should be changed in order for Firefox to access these basic Internet sites (that are completely accessible using other browsers such as IE and Google Chrome). Thank you.

FYI, I work with the original poster. I looked at the suggestions on that page but none were the issue. Then I found this thread:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1056488
And that appears to be the problem we and others are having.

What is wrong when I keep getting "Secure Connection Failed" message?

Why am I getting the msg "Secure Connection Failed" on most sites I used to be able to access before power outage?

Rename (or delete) secmod.db (secmod.db.old) and maybe also cert8.db (cert8.db.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the files.
The file ''cert8.db'' stores your user certificates, so if you have user certificates then you may want to export them now and import them after having removed cert8.db.
See Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates: View Certificates
If that works then you can delete the renamed files or undo the changes if you want to revert the process.

Secure Connection Failed: Error code: ssl_error_illegal_parameter_alert - New problem after website moved to new server.

My website was migrated to a new cloud server last week and after the move visitors to my site using Firefox have been intermittently receiving the following error when visiting a https:// url.
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to www.url.com
SSL peer rejected a handshake message for unacceptable content. (Error code: ssl_error_illegal_parameter_alert)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
Upon a few refreshes the page may load again but often very slowly and often not all images will load.
The web hosts have tried many things, have had cpanel techs check the server and even set up a new ssl certificate to try and resolve the problem with no luck.
Researching the internet shows that people have faced this issue when upgrading Firefox or with certain AntiVirus software conflicts.
However I can't tell all FF visitors to start altering their config files in order to be able to visit my site.
I don't understand how I didn't have this issue prior to the migration but now something has changed that no one knows how to resolve.
For reference: I am using FF 28.0 and I am not experiencing this SSL error on any other site other than my own since the migration.
Does anyone have any information on what the web host may be able to do to fix this SSL issue that only occurs for FireFox users?
Thank you for any suggestions you may be able to offer.

Still experiencing this problem and hoping someone may have some ideas to try on the server.

I've updated to FF26 and get the follow error message "Secure Connection Failed" why is that?

ever since I've updated to FF26 some of the sites won't come up and show the following error message:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to www.facebook.com. SSL peer rejected a handshake message for unacceptable content. (Error code: ssl_error_illegal_parameter_alert)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
it does not happens all the time but most of the times.
this also occurs on google.com, twitter.com and many more.
what to do?

Do you have the option to turn off the feature of Kaspersky scanning your SSL traffic? Usually that can be turned off (e.g., in ESET and BitDefender).

Did you check the connection settings?

Did you check the settings in security (anti-virus) software?
You can try to reset (power on/off) the router.

Upgrading from 35 to 36 caused secure connection failed errors

We have a couple of different applications that our customers suddenly are having issues with on a pair of load balanced web servers after they upgrade to version 36 of Firefox. It worked fine in 35 and still works in Chrome and IE. The error only happens on certain pages within the sites. The exact error is this:
Secure Connection Failed
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
The exact same apps work fine on other servers with version 36, so I’m guessing it is some kind of a certificate/cipher issue with the server or load balancer. I have searched for this message and see others have similar issues when attempting to upload files but the pages failing don't have any file uploads on them.
Any suggestions on what to look at?

After spending some more time browsing around on the forums, I stumbled on this thread:

Secure connection failed: The Certifying Authority for this certificate is not permitted to issue a certificate with this name. (Error code: sec_error_cert_not_in_name_space) PLEASE HELP ME!!

I have gone to this website almost everyday for years and I have not changed anything in my internet settings, but now I'm getting this message: secure connection failed: The Certifying Authority for this certificate is not permitted to issue a certificate with this name. (Error code: sec_error_cert_not_in_name_space) The only thing I KNOW I did differently, was I installed a CAC reader to my computer, since then, this has been happening. Is there a setting I can change?? E-mail is: [email protected] Thanks! Megan

The connection was reset + Secure connection failed

Hello, I am using firefox on the web and I keep encountering the same error message that the connection was reset when I try to access webpages. Following the article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1024256 did not solve the problem as it only fixed it for google.com and no other website, however when I hold down shift and reload the page it will reload, sometimes in basic html. Operating in safe mode will bring up these pages in basic text without graphics.
Sometimes, it will instead show the message Secure Connection Failed for trusted websites such as news agencies.
I have disabled my themes and add-ons but the problem still persists.
I woud like some guidance on how to go about fixing this problem. Thanks! :)

Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

In Firefox version 37.0 getting Secure Connection Failed config parameter version.fallback-limit set to 3. Does this support TLS 1.0 .

In FF 37.0 getting secure connection failed connecting to a website. Works fine in previous version. Config parameter version.fallback-limit default setting is 3. In previous version the default setting was 1. Does the setting version.fallback-limit to 3 mean only TLS1.2 is supported. Any help is appreciated.
Secure Connection Failed
The connection to xxxx.xxx.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
Thx,

The website may try to fallback to TLS 1.0 in a way that is no longer allowed in current releases or may be using a deprecated cipher suite.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar and use its search bar to locate this pref:
*security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts
You can double-click the line to modify the pref and add the domain (full domain) to this pref.
If there are already websites (domains) in this list then add a comma and the new domain (no spaces).
You should only see domains separated by a comma in the value column.

My friend has found a workaround:
