Secure web sites

After getting computer fixed at Apple Store and downloading all current updates, I cannot cannot access secure web sites in Safari which I could do easily before. i.e. my bank account, pay son's college tuition on lines and re-fill prescriptions. How can I fix this?

Hello pete-o:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
If you have not done so, run permission repair. Then close Safari and trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist). Reenter your personal preferences and open Safari.

Accessing Social Security web site

I suddenly cannot access the social security web site, both its old url and its new url. I have tried to change my dns server. I can get to everything else. I live in Germany. This is a problem with both safari and firefox. My ipad can't get there either.

OK I went there and it says it's just me. I am lost as to where to go from here. None of my devices can get to the site, ipad, iphone, mac book pro. I tried adding a different dsn server. I still get a time out.

Firefox cannot download pdfs on secured web sites .... any ideas?

For some months now I have been unable to download pdfs at the secured web sites of financial institutions. After talking with technicians they are all bewildered but point to browser or security settings but are unable to solve the problem. Do others have this experience?

Only security software (probably anti-virus software or the firewall) would show such a message if it was a Windows message, so you can check it there.
If it is a message from a Firefox extension then see this:

Sign into secure web sites

I have a PM G5 and I have just bought a new MacBook Pro, both are running the latest versions of Safari but when I try to sign into some secure web sites such as banking I get a invalid username / password notification but I can sign in on the MacBook ? can anyone please tell whats going on.

On the MBPro, quit Safari.
Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities). Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the keychain for any sites you have problems logging in such as the banking site.
Relaunch Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Make sure: User names and passwords is selected.
Navigate to a site. Enter your user name and password. When prompted, click Yes. That will create a new keychain for that site for you.
If that doesn't help, go back to Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies. Delete all Cookies for sites you have problems logging in. Quit then relaunch Safari.

Cannot log into my secure web sites?

Why can't I log into my secure web sites or set up email accounts?

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
2. Check that the following files exist:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
If they don't, restore them from a backup or reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
3. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter. Test.
4. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
5. 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.
6. Launch the Activity Monitor 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. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Is a process with that name listed?
If not, back up all data, then select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Into the text box that opens, copy the following line of text:
/var/db/crls
From the folder that opens, move these two files to the Trash:
crlcache.db
ocspcache.db
You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, empty the Trash, and test.

Does it secured web site?

There are two general indications of a secured web page, but I found none for
www.i-access.com, but customer service representative mention they used other
tools for security based on flash application, so you would not see following two general indications
and tell me feel safe to trade online. They get no proofs on any security for
online trading, can you trust them? is there any SSL setting on flash application? which replace following two general indications of a secured web page.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to check whether this web site would
encrypt transition data or not?
Thanks for any suggestions
John
1) Check the web page URL
Normally, when browsing the web, the URLs (web page addresses) begin with
the letters "http". However, over a secure connection the address displayed
should begin with "https" - note the "s" at the end.
Try it! - Visit our home page (http://www.ssl.com). ; Note the URL begins
with the "http" meaning this page is not secure. Click the link in the
upper-right hand corner to "Log in". Notice the change in the URL? It now
begins with "https", meaning the user name and password typed in will be
encrypted before sent to our server.
2) Check for the "Lock" icon
There is a de facto standard among web browsers to display a "lock" icon
somewhere in the window of the browser (NOT in the web page display area!)
For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer displays the lock icon in the
lower-right of the browser window:

Do you have any suggestions on how security the site is?
Do you know any online tools to check it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Unable to Activate Screen Buttons on Secure Web Sites with Safari 5.0.2

I often pay bills online with secure sites, but today I was unable to complete any of those actions. The problem was that I could not produce the desired action when I clicked on action buttons (associated with secure emails in a list), such as SEND or REPLY. The problem was highlighted by red text notes telling me I should have used the onscreen buttons rather than my browser's arrow keys. Obviously, that's exactly what I was doing. It never cleared itself, even with a Reset Safari or Empty Cache. I did not have any of these problems before the recent upgrade to Safari 5.0.2.

That certainly could be true,...I guess. I did use Firefox 3.6.10 to accomplish what I needed with these secure sites without experiencing any of the same problems. So, it almost sounds like you have to *drink the kool aid* to believe it is the web sites themselves. I had this problem with more than one web site; as, I was in the process of paying four monthly bills online on different web sites. At least three of them were secure sites, and Safari would not work on any of the three web sites...I am pretty sure they were the secure ones. It also appears possible that to the degree that Safari is NOT standards-compliant, some fault in systems engineering might be preventing its ability to work with secure sites. I did encourage, through an independent email, one web master to investigate with Apple why his web site/Safari interface was not working. So, he might take you up on your advice to become more standards-compliant if it applies. I'm still in need of a fix that I can really use.

Cannot view pdf from a secure web site

I have no problems viewing pdf's normally. But if I am on a secure page (https://), the pdf won't load. This happens on two different web sites, both the Cox cable site and USAA insurance, I am unable to view my statements which are in pdf. I can get around it on the USAA site by choosing to save the pdf instead, and then viewing it locally, but the Cox site doesn't give me that option. I pick a statement month, then it opens up a new tab and goes to a secure page where it appears to try to download the pdf statement- to then try to display in the browser window, I guess? At any rate, there is a little download icon down in the left corner of the status bar, but the progress bar never completes. It just fizzles out and I'm left with a blank page. I had these problems when I used XP Home Edition and nothing has changed under Vista Home Basic. Interestingly, I have no problem viewing my statements on either site from my work computer, which uses XP Pro. I was running Reader 8 on my home system and just recently upgraded to 9, but with no change with this problem. At work Reader 7 is installed.
So it would appear to be a setting on my computer, a limitation of the low-end OS's, or some difference between Reader 7 and 8/9. I am mystified as to exactly what it could be, however. Anyone have any experience with this issue?
UPDATE: Found the answer to my problem! Did a little more searching on these forums and found the culprit setting, but maybe my post will help someone else out if they happen to find it first during their search. Anywho, uncheck the Do not save encrypted files to disk under Internet Advanced Options under Tools :)

Your system details list doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox, so if you've disabled that plugin then you will have to re-enable it.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Managing+the+Flash+plugin
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these if the Flash plugin is working properly:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3

Why can't I view a secure web site (basic https) on my iPhone?

I was wondering why my iPhone is unable to connect (at all) to https://c1.cmpro.net? When I attempt to go to this address (this is a server at work I'd like to be able to use via my iPhone), I get the following message: "Safari can't open the page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server."
I'm fairly certain that the https config on this server hasn't been set to cause it to exclude iPhones, or that it is in fact doing anything out-of-the-ordinary so far as https configurations are concerned for a web site.
Any ideas, feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to be able to connect to this site via my iPhone.
Thanks.

I think I might have just answered my own question. When accessing the site in question via Safari on my iMac just now, I was warned that the security certificate could not be verified, and asked if I wanted to continue. I'm presuming the same thing is happening on the iPhone, only I'm not getting chance to say that I'd like to continue. Instead, it just stops and basically says, "I can't verify the security of this site, therefore I can't connect to it securely."
I'll look into the certificate issue for that server and see what can be done to get it resolved.
I wish that the iPhone had a way to register "trusted sites" in order to circumvent this type of things (I happen to know I can trust this particular site.) It would also be very helpful to be able to install PKI certificates for sites that require those. Oh well, maybe in a future version of the iPhone Mac OS ...
Thanks for your answers.

Not able to access secure web sites

I have a satelite modem that connects via WAN port to my Airport Extreme which then is connected via LAN port to Netgear ethernet card on my PC. After just getting the broadband last week, I noticed that I cannot access certain secure sites such as my bank or american express site on my PC but I can do it via wireless from my PowerBook G4. When I bypass the Airport extreme and connect the modem directly to the PC ethernet card, I can then acess the secure sites on my PC.
Can some please help to solve this so that I can acess the secure sites on my PC as well when using the Airport Extreme?
After taking to tech supprot at the Hughes.net they say that the router is somehow blocking the sites into the PC- something about a MTU or something like that?
Thanks for your help
Faltu1

Thanks Duane for your prompt reply.
My knowlede of computers in very shameful. I am not aware of any software on the PC that has the wireless port more restricted. All I have is the AVG free Anit-virus and the Free Microsoft Fire Wall installed.
If it is a software blocking the ports; how can find out which one it is and what can be done to fix it.
Are there some settings on the AEBS that can be adjusted for it to communicate better with the PC to all the sites to pass through.
I did find some thing on the appple web site about restricted website but I don't understand what it means and wether it really applies to my situation. See below:
Restricted address ranges
Using AirPort Admin Utility or AirPort Utility, check the "Public" or "WAN" IP address. If this address starts with a "10" or "192", your ISP is using restricted address ranges. This may affect the ability of the base station to share the Internet connection among computers. If you have difficulty connecting to some websites when the base station has a public IP address beginning with 10 or 192, use AirPort Admin Utility or AirPort Utility to turn off connection sharing for the base station. Only one computer will be able to connect through the base station. If you have a broadband modem, you may need to unplug its power supply for a few seconds to reset it. If that resolves your issue, contact your Internet service provider. In this configuration the base station is serving as a wireless bridge between your computer and the ISP, rather than as a wireless router. To connect more than one computer, your ISP would need to assign additional IP addresses to your account.
Thanks for your help again.

Problem just started unable to get on secure web site

Have had WRT54G 6 months no problems getting on my bank secure website. About 10 days ago explorer times out showe problem remote firewall blocking access. called bank called comcast hooked up to comcast without router could get on banks website. called linksys tried what they suggested my phone call was dropped in the middle think tech was stumped. help

1. Go to start>>run>>type: cmd, click ok. A command prompt will open and you will type: ipconfig /flushdns
2. Reboot the computer and now try to connect to the web site.
3. If you still can not connect to that website, turn-off your firewall and pop-up blockers, try to connect now.
4. If still no connection, do a power cycle:Try a power cycle by removing the power cord from the router, then remove the power cord from the modem, wait 60 seconds, plug back in the modem, then plug in the router, wait about 3 minutes for everything to sync up, and then try to access the web page.
Good Luck,

Just updated to Mozilla Firefox 4.0 now receiving error to access a secure web site

Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to secure.banknewport.com.
Renegotiation is not allowed on this SSL socket.
(Error code: ssl_error_renegotiation_not_allowed)
The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.

I have done that a gazillion times and it does nothing. As soon as I put my password in and hit "login," the secure site address shows up for an instant and then disappears and sends me back to the login page...very frustrating. It seems to be something beyond what is obvious.

Safari 1.3.2 Not Accessing Some Secure Web Sites Including This One

Operating system is 10.3.9 running Safari 1.3.2 and today I couldn't access American Express or Apple Discussions web site. I had a lock up yesterday that forced me to do a hard reset. Funny thing is, Safari otherwise is running fine other than not accessing secure sites that I accessed just fine yesterday. FWIW, I am entering this info from a PC not my Mac...Any Ideas.

Hi Richard!
It's probably a corrupt Cache or Cookie item.
Do you know your user names & passwords for sites that require them?
If so, open Safari Preferences > Security.
Click on Show Cookies.
Click on Remove All.
Click on Done.
If you do not know your user name & PWs for sites, you will have to individually click on the cookies for the ones that are not opening, and delete them one by one.
Then from the Safari contextual menu, select Empty Cache.
Click on Empty.
Good Luck!

I am getting a Invalid Server Certificate error when I go to secure web sites.

I am getting an Invalid Server Certificate error in Safari when I go to https web sites. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. My time and date are correct on my computer. I have no problem accessing non-https web sites.
Any suggestions on why this is happening are appreciated.

Launch the Activity Monitor application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select “All Processes” from the popup menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Does a process with that name appear in the table below?
If not, see this thread:

Can't open secure web site

Safari public bets 3 returns an error to the effect that a secure connection could not be established. I've been led to believe this might be because the browser doesn't support 128-bit encryption. Can anybody tell me if this is true? Apple's site is no help.

I too get the yellow box on ebay that i should upgrade my browser to "use ebay more efficently", but that can be ignored, everything works fine.
