Safari cannot establish secure connection to the server

I cannot establish a secure connection to the server using a CAC card. Any ideas?

Have you made sure your software is completely up to date?
You should be at one of the following:
10.6.8
10.7.5
10.8.5
10.9.4
And let us know if it works!

Mac Firefox cannot establish a connection to the server at

I have a power PC G4 mac running OSX 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.6.10 and occasionally get the error message that Firefox cannot establish a connection to the server at ourhealthcoop.net or getshen.com and various others. How can I fix this and what is causing it? If it is a firewall, then how do I find the firewall and what do I do to "make things right"?

If Firefox cannot connect to any site, the problem may be a firewall blocking access. For details on that and other possible causes see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

I a connected to the internet, but cannot establish a connection to the server to watch an insructional video

I am trying to watch an instructional video at artistsnetwork.tv, but I get the message Error: Timed-out trying to establish a connection to the server. I have no idea how to even BEGIN to fix this.

If you did the following 3 steps in the link and saw the screen pictured in the link, you are communicating with the router you are connected to (yours or unlikely but possible, someone elses of the same brand that is also unsecured and within range):
Step 1: Open a web browser and type the IP address of the WBR series router into the address bar (default is http://192.168.0.1).
Step 2: The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click on OK.
Step 3: Click on the Setup tab at the top and then click on Wireless Settings on the left-hand side.
The MAC address you are seeing may be that of a connected device rather than the router itself such as your Mac or your modem but I'm not sure what they are displaying.
You can change the "Wireless Network Name" on the same page of settings to a unique name to be sure which router you are connecting to when you connect via wifi. That will also require you to reconnect as I have described below.
Note that in addition to changing the security mode you will also have to enter a passphrase twice in the bottom section. That is the password you will need to enter in your mac to connect to your wifi when it is secured. It is also likely that after you press Save the router will disconnect you and you will need to reconnect using the password.
Also note that as long as you are doing it you really should set it to WPA not WEP as WEP is not as secure. Quote from the same page:
WPA is a strong form of wireless encryption, however not all wireless adapters support this feature. If your wireless adapter does not support WPA you will want to use WEP to secure your wireless network.
If none of that helps, you may want to try a D-Link user forum as non of this is Mac specific and a forum devoted to routers is likely to be more helpful.

I am trying to load firefox but keep getting thru the process to the end and then getting error mesage saying ff cannot establish a connection to the server at en-gb etc

download ff completed for windows xp but then error message says ff cannot connect to the server. dont know what else i can try at this point. using laptop with wireless connection and ie working fine.

If Firefox cannot connect to any site, the problem may be a firewall blocking access. For details on that and other possible causes see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

Since getting broadband I cannot establish a connection to the server.

When I want to connect to the server from my desktop I get the message that Firefox can't establish a connection at en-us.start3.mozilla.com. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and the same thing happened. However, Firefox works from my laptop.
After trying the suggestions, which didn't work, I decided to remove the program and then download it again. To my complete surprise the new program not only worked but it contained my bookmarks, etc. It's so nice to have Firefox back in use!

Check the settings you have for Firefox on your laptop. It's possible that your desktop machine has different settings. Also, have you set it to use a proxy server on either machine?

Safari cannot establish secure connection beyond loading homepage

I have Safari 1.3.2 on a G3 running OS 10.3.9. Until recently all was well. Now, when I click on Safari it loads my home page 'news.google.com. but whether I click on URLs on that page or insert other URLs, I ALWAYS get a dialog box informing me that a secure connection cannot be established to whatever URL I have chosen. I have reset Safari without any success. I have no problems accessing the same URLs using Internet Explorer but I prefer Safari. HELP!

Safari Cannot Establish Secure Connection

Hello !
i am trying to connect to this site and i always get a Secure Connection Problem.
It is the site of my university where i check my grades.
I always get the picture i attach.
It is very annoying tbh.
Any suggestions ? I dont have the same problem when using any other browser or i try to connect via iPad or iPhone.
Only Safari on ML has this issue.
I have switched off all my extensions and it didnot work.
Also i dont have Rapport (or how it is called).
Thanks in Advance for your help.

I can't test the site, but it's presenting an expired server certificate. That may or may not prevent you from connecting to it. Here are some simple steps you can try.
Check that the date (including the year) and time shown by your system clock are correct.
Restart your router and broadband device, if different.
Try another browser, such as Firefox.
If you connect to the Internet through an HTTPS or SOCKS proxy server, follow the instructions in this support article, or deselect the proxy entirely.
Boot in safe mode and try again.
Follow the instructions in this support article to change your DNS settings.
If possible, test on a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi hotspot or the cellular network of your phone.

Whenever I open Mozilla Firefox a message comes up saying "Unable to Connect" and "Firefox cannot establish a connection to the server".

My internet works fine with other programs such as IE and Safari. I've tried removing Firefox from Windows Firewall's list of trusted or recognized programs, then adding it back but it still doesn't work. I have also performed a full system can of my computer using an antivirus program and the results show that my computer is not infected by a virus.

Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder.
Click to view full size
look for a folder titled Import or Importing and move it to the Desktop. Launch iPhoto to see if the message goes away. If there is no message check the contents of the Import folder to see if you want to keep any of those image files (usually they have not been imported into iPhoto). If you want to keep them then drag the folder into the open iPhoto window to import.

I was using Firefox for months, then all of a sudden I get "Unable to Connect, Firefox cannot establish a connection to the server" ?

My internet connection is fine when I use Explorer (but I don't like Explorer). I have Windows Vista.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Cannot open page Safari cannot open the page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server

Hello Apple Experts!!
I Am Surendra and very new to this forum.. I just came across a problem with my Iphone while connecting to my company WIFI.. we are using Web authentication.. meaning..
The user will try to connect to the wireless network, the client will get the IP address and they are forced to open up the browser to provide the USERNAME and the PASSWORD on the webpage, once they pass the auth they will be able to access to the internet.
The WEB PAGE that asks for the USERNAME and the PASSWORD is HTTPS and for some reason that page is not at all opening and i am getting the below error.. If i disable HTTPS on the cisco Device the IPHONE works great..
Cannot open page Safari cannot open the page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server
This is happening only on the OS 5 and on the OS 4 everything works just great!!
I have a feeling that this has to do something to do with HTTPS / SSL connection with the IPHONE SAFARI or OS 5
Am connecting to Cisco Wireless LAN COntroller and the access point acting as the WIFI devices..
Any help on the same will be much appreciated!!
Regards
Surendra

This appeared to be a more than sufficient cipher list, yet my iPad won't load any page. I highly doubt it's a problem with SSL2 not being enabled because SSL2 has been deprecated for awhile now.
Any ideas?

Safari "can't establish a secure connection to the server insert website "

Per the title, Safari has started saying that it cannot establish a secure connection to the server. This occurs when I try to log in to any website.
I have reset Safari, I have turned my router off and on (I am using a WiFi connection).
I upgraded (today) to the newest software, Mountain Lion.
There is another Mac in the house (not on Mountain Lion) that works fine.
I downloaded FireFox and everything works fine.
I am using a Macbook Pro.
Fix, anyone?

After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1, Verification Failed: An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made. My wifi connection works; the icon is present at the top left. But Internet won't connect, be it Safari, App Store

After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1, Verification Failed: "An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made." My wifi connection works; the icon is present at the top left. But Internet apps won't connect, be it Safari, App Store or Facebook & instagram. Push notifications also work so posts from Facebook and Instagram still pop-up. Does any one have any ideas? Thanks.

I have the same problem. Worked fine on Friday. My VPN or any ssl site do not work on my iPhone 5. Both work perfect on iPhone 4 and 4s

Safari 6 OS 10.8 Mountain Lion - can't establish a secure connection to the server

Hi everyone! I have difficulties with Safari 6 on OS 10.8 Mountain Lion... When i attempt to connect to various secure http sites, Safari will fail to connect, saying "safari can't open the page because safari can't establish a secure connection to the server" Other times, a small rectangle will appear within the address bar labelled https, and all will be well. It's quite random and irritating. To get it to word again, sometimes a relaunch does the trick, sometimes I have to reset safari. Is there something I can do?
Thanks!

Safari 8.0.3 Can't establish a secure connection to the server

I have a Macbook Air (early 2014) running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Safari is version 8.0.3
When accessing the websites "https://www.national-lottery.co.uk" and "https://portal.wmpfonline.com" I am given the below message:
Safari can't open the page "https://www.national-lottery.co.uk" because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "www.national-lottery.co.uk".
Initially when I bought my Macbook Air these sites worked perfectly. Also, when I clear website data it will work for a short period of time (roughly 2 minutes) but other times that makes no difference. I have tried using FireFox but I still have an issue accessing these sites. When in recovery mode both sites work perfectly fine without an issue.
Is anyone able to help me with this issue? I have been searching and searching for a week to find a solution to this problem.
Thank you all in advance

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are several possible causes for it.
Back up all data, then take each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time
Select the Time Zone tab in the preference pane that opens and check that the time zone matches your location. Then select the Date & Time tab. Check that the data and time shown (including the year) are correct, and correct them if not.
Check the box marked
          Set date and time automatically
if it's not already checked, and select one of the Apple time servers from the menu next to it.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open. The dialog should show "You can only read" in the Sharing & Permissions section.
Repeat with this line:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
If instead of the Info dialog, you get a message that either file can't be found, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it by pressing command-V. Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 3
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the upper left corner of the window, you should see a list headed Keychains. If not, click the button in the lower left corner that looks like a triangle inside a square.
In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
          File ▹ Add Keychain
from the menu bar and add the following items:
/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
Open the View menu in the menu bar. If one of the items in the menu is
          Show Expired Certificates
select it. Otherwise it will show
          Hide Expired Certificates
which is what you want.
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu labeled
          Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
select
          no value specified
Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings.
Now open the same inspection window again, and select
          When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
Save the change in the same way as before.
Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings. Never again change any of those settings.
Step 4
Select My Certificates from the Category list. From the list of certificates shown, delete any that are marked with a red X as expired or invalid.
Export all remaining certificates, delete them from the keychain, and reimport. For instructions, select
          Help ▹ Keychain Access Help
from the menu bar and search for the term "export" in the help window. Export each certificate as an individual file; don't combine them into one big file.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Step 6
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/var/db/crls
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "crls" should open. Move all the files in that folder to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator login password.
Restart the computer, empty the Trash, and test.
Step 7
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in the same way you launched Keychain Access.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1                              localhost
255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
::1                                        localhost
fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
If that's not what you see, post the contents of the window.

Hotspot login cannot open the page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server.

I am trying to connect to a public wifi network. My iPad connects marvoulesly. My iPhone not so much. I have an iPhone 4 and everytime I go to connect, it goes to a pop up page where I'm supposed to click a link to adhere to their TOS. When I get the pop up page I get "Hotspot login cannot open the page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server"
I've reset the network settings and nothing changed. Same error message. Any tips or tricks to fix this? I'm laid up on bed rest in the hospital and would really rather that I not use all my data minutes...
Thanks!

Updated to iOS6 on an iPhone 4 this morning, and now when I attempt to connect to my work wireless, it connects for a moment then attempts to popup some login page (I sometimes get the hotspot login error you've mentioned) and because the page doesn't exist I can't get connected to the wireless netowrk.
What the heck have apple broken in this update?
Why when joining a normal wireless network is my phone even going near a Login page? What is this and how do I disable it?
Oh, and I'm posting here because your suggestions of disabling the Wi-Fi and Cellular data netowkrs doesn't solve the problem.
[Edit: seems while typing this leaving the cellular data disabled, it's now letting my join wireless - seems to be some timeout on it fixing the issue - I'd still like to know what this login page is it's attempting to locate is for.]
