Safari establishing a secure connection

More frequently and annoyingly when I am working in Safari 1.3.2 I cannot connect to a web site because Safari "...couldn't establish a secure connection to the server...". Is this a preference item I can turn off?

Hi,
My Safari 1.3.2 is giving me fits also. I have an Mac OS X 10.3.9, G4, 256 Ram. If I download the Camino 1.6.3, should I delete the old Safari? If so, can bookmarks be transferred?
I am on cable, but still, at times, the little rainbow wheel goes around and around before connecting. Very frustrating as I'm paying for a fast internet connection. Is there something else I can do to fix this problem? When the machine is idle for a bit and the screen is black, I move the mouse to wake it up and it takes time for it to finally get me to a working screen. What's up with that?
Thanks so much for any help you can give me. I'm not real tech savey, but can usually follow directions for some fixes. (for instance - wouldn't know how to change the cache that the previous person asked about)

  • Why won't Safari establish a secure connection with Facebook?

    I've tried doing things with proxy. I've tried resetting Safari. I've tried doing things with cookies. I've tried disabling extensions. Next step is to try throwing my laptop out the window. This only started happening yesterday and there is no issues with other sites. It's not my internet connection. I can't get to Facebook by direct URL or through google or through links in my history. Macbook Pro bought in 2012 with Mountain Loin.

    I have the same issue. Did everything that was recommended. Finally I just downloaded Google Chrome and use that for Facebook. No one seems to know why this happened

  • I'm having a problem accessing Bupers Online using my CAC reader. I get an error that says safari can't establish a secure connection to the website. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I am having a problem accessing Bupers Online on OS X Mountain Lion. I get an error that says Safari cant establish a secure connection with Bupers Online. Does anyone have any tips to access Bupers?

    I don't use CAC certificates, but since updating to 10.9.3, I too am getting the same error, BUT only with some HTTPS sites (e.g., https://webmail.pairlite.com), not all. Meanwhile, Firefox (was 12.0, now 29.0.1) connects with no issue.
    I too have verified date/time is set automatically, checked for (and fixed) disk integrity errors and permissions, and rebooted, all to no avail.
    Update:
    Well...heck. Tried accessing the problematic site via the Guest account, and that WORKED. So...back to the drawing board.

  • 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!

  • Cannot get Safari to establish a secure connection

    I cannot get Safari to open any webpage that has an https: start to their web page. I get the following message:
    Safari can’t open the page “https://xxx" because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server
    This started just today but I've done a few things that might have caused this. I reset my system user password and then needed keychain to reset it's password to match up with this. I cleared the chach in users and I also upgraded to Safari 1.2.
    If I use another browser I do not have this problem. Any thoughts>

    I've had the same problem a few times. I found that resetting the airport gets the problem fixed, providing that you grant your airport permission to access your keychain always. It can be a software reset. Connect to your airport (airport utility) and select yours (in case you get signals from other neighbors too). Then, on the toolbar click reset, and you should be on.

  • 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!!

    I'm having a similar issue.  Connecting on my iPad FROM ANYWHERE to my work's domain results in the message by the OP.
    I checked the ciphers enabled by their page, and this was returned:

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • Safari not able to establish a secure connection

    Under my wife's user, all of a sudden today, Safari is unable to establish a secure connection to secure websites. On my user there is no problem. Only on hers. Does anybody know why this is happening? All of our security settings are the same.

    Found the problem. Wife changed parental controls.

  • "Safari is unable to establish a secure connection"

    When I try to log in to bank or credit card accounts Safari will frequently display the above error. It resolves when I restart my computer, but only temporarily. Sometimes the error displays after I'm already logged in to an account and trying to make transfers/payments/etc.
    Has anyone else had this problem and/or found a solution?

    Hello B Noir,
    Thank you for your suggestion.  I did check the date, time and time zone and they are correct.  I also was able to open the iTunes Store without any trouble.  I actually had trouble getting back to this page, because I was getting the error message trying to open it, and had to reboot to reply to you.  I realize that I didn't give any detail except to say it sounded like exactly the same problem that timiteo was having.
    I installed updates to Safari 5.05, and OS security updates to 10.5.8 two days ago.  Since then, Safari keeps getting hung up and/or giving me this error message:
    "Safari can’t open the page.
    Safari can’t open the page “https://intuit.com/login/” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “intuit.com”."
    This happens on numerous websites and does not happen consistently.  In other words, I just received the error message when I tried to open my gmail calendar from within gmail.  Other times, it has opened without trouble, and after rebooting, I am now able to open it again (this is adding up to a lot of rebooting today).
    I then installed Google Chrome (so I could get some work done), but after a short time, it started doing the same thing with this error message:
    "SSL connection error
    Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.
    Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error."
    Once I get the message, then I can't do anything with the particular browser until I reboot, which solves the problem for a short while.  Actually, once I see the message in one browser, it is sure to happen in the other browser right away as well.  I had none of these problems before I installed the updates, so I'm wondering if there is some conflict in the 10.5.8 OS security updates, since it doesn't seem limited to Safari.
    I'm not running any virus software on the Mac.  I do have Parallels running a virtual Windows machine on the same laptop and I have Norton Antivirus running on Windows, but I don't even have Windows started up.  I used to have Norton Antivirus running on the Mac "side" - but I uninstalled that months ago, because it was bogging everything down.
    I appreciate any ideas you may have.

  • I can no longer access facebook from my macair and when i try the following error message appears "unable to establish a secure connection to the server.

  • Error message cannot establish a secure connection ipad3

    I'm trying to login into an IP camera via safari on the ipad3 and receive an error message " Safari cannot open page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server."  I have made the same connection to the same IP camera on my Ipad2 without any problems or errors. As a matter of fact, I'm connected to ip camera on my IPad 2 as I type using the same wifi connection used with the IPad 3. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Hmm, no changes. Still the same issue. I deleted the files described, rebooted and reconfigured the network.
    hmm, Finder still remembers his old server connection settings, maybe i should delete those, too. Any idea where finder stores his server connections?
    In my perception the message that no secure connection can be established comes up immediately after sending the connect command. I don't think that there is network traffic, there is no noticeable latency...

  • Couldn't establish a secure connection to the server

    The following message is appearing every time I go to log into an account via a secure link.
    Safari can’t open the page because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server
    I am running Mac OS X 10.3.9
    I have Reset Safari 1.3.2
    Removed all cookies
    Emptied my Cache
    Contacted my ISP and isolated it is a software issue
    I used Internet Explorer and I was able to log into secure web pages. Therefore it is only Safari that doesn't allow me to log into secure pages.
    Do I need to reinstall my safari application using my Mac OS X Install Disc following the instructions listed in the manual under topic "Reinstalling the software That Came With Your Computer" heading "Installing Mac OS X and Applications"
    Buy reinstalling Mac OS X I hoping it might fix the issue with Safari. I am thinking it is a software/application issue.
    Is there anyway I can reinstall Safari without having to reinstall anything else and without making back up file from my hard drive.
    How do you go about reinstalling Safari only?

    Hi
    this is likely a keychain or settings issue rather than Safari....
    but here is Safari from the 10.3.9 combo update.....
    You'll need to choose the 'free' option, then unzip the file & drag the Safari app to your applications folder; then repair permissions, then run the 1.3.1 updater, then the 1.3.2 updater. Phew !!
    maybe someone will upload the 1.3.2 version eh? I have tiger, so can't help directly
