Trouble accessing secure (https) sites

I recently installed Leopard and upgraded to 10.5.1.
I am now having trouble accessing most secure sites. I've tried the following:
-Used different browsers (Safari, Firefox, Flock)
-Emptied the cache (on all browsers)
-Turned off the Mac OS X Firewall
The problem persists on different routers/ISPs and I am able to access the site using a different computer (running Windows XP) on the same connection.
Again, it is most connections on secure servers, but there are odd exceptions (such as logging into this discussions forum).
I appreciate your help.

The browser will immediately display a message stating that it cannot connect to the server, such as:
Safari can’t open the page “https://online.wamu.com/” because it can’t find the server “online.wamu.com”.
Other sites that give the same error:
https://store.apple.com/
https://login.byu.edu/
It shouldn't be a server related problem since I can access the same sites from other computers running Windows or Leopard on the same or different connection.

  • Problem Using GetNetText when accessing secured (https) sites

    I have been having trouble getting GetNetText &
    PostNetText to work with a secured (https) server. I need to
    execute PHP files located on this server. I have heard of SecureNet
    Xtra but before I try it I want to ask if there are other ways to

    You should be able to access secure sites when running in
    Shockwave but

  • Can't Access Secure (HTTPS) Sites On One Account, FF or Safari???

    Hello Mac Fans
    First let me say I'm new to Mac. On one account I can't access secures sites like I can in the admin account. This may be a function of rights but am not sure? All updates have been done.
    I can't login to this forum, my MobileMe account or my bank for example. I had to change to my other account or gasp, use a PC to post this message.
    I installed FireFox trying to isolate the problem to Safari but that didn't pan out, I can't get to HTTPS pages in FF either.
    I turned off Little Snitch thinking I might have denied something by mistake but that didn't help. I checked the rules and found nothing that wasn't allowed.
    Nothing was changed in the router. I just turned on Mac and it worked. The iMac is connected to the router via ethernet cable.
    I've used the search function and tried a few things that have been recommended for others but they didn't help me. I went to the keychain and did a repair, although it didn't find any problem. I over rode a couple keys to always allow them (Apple site stuff) and I ran the disk utility to no avail.
    For reference I will post the information for both Safari and FF.
    Safari:
    Safari can’t open the page “https://support.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/ACAuthWeb.woa/wa/login?
    appIdKey=2ddbca23a85d20e5bf7478812379ae23&path=/login.jspa%3FsuccessURL%3D/index .jspa” because Safari can’t
    establish a secure connection to the server “support.apple.com”.
    Safari can’t open the page “https://www.mln'sbank.com/” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server
    “www.mln'sbank.com”.
    Safari can’t open the page “https://auth.apple.com/authenticate?service=DockStatus&realm=primary-
    me&returnURL=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tZS5jb20vd28vV2ViT2JqZWN0cy9Eb2NrU3RhdHVzLndvYS93YS9 0cmFtcG9saW5l&destinationU
    rl=” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “auth.apple.com”.
    FireFox:
    The connection was interrupted
    The connection to support.apple.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    I've done a lot of snooping around on this forum and have ran out of ideas so now I must ask for help.
    Thanks

    I think I may have found the problem. It's embarrassing to find it minutes after posting the message yet I tried to solve it off and on for three days! My brother who is a 20 year Mac user has been trying to help me too. I guess it's true what they say... sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. LOL
    I turned off the parental controls. What I don't understand is that the no website restrictions box was checked. To me this means I should be able to go to any site I wanted. Can anyone explain why I couldn't got to a HTTPS page on a parental controlled account even though there were no restrictions placed on it?
    It's late and I need sleep. I'll leave this open for now until I have more time to test it.

  • I am trying to access an https site and am getting a "This connection is untrusted" message. I am willing to bypass, but when I click the Add Exception button and then try to click the Confirm Security Exception button, nothing happens.

    unfortunately the do_not_trust certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.
    <br><sub>reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982532#answer-520145</sub>
    afterwards, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • Cannot access any https sites, clock is OK, get This Connection is Untrusted error message.

    All works OK on Chrome and IE, but Firefox just suddenly stopped access to https sites yesterday, e.g. Google, Facebook and Linkedin. Non secure http sites are OK though. "This Connection is Untrusted" is the error message and technical details are www.google.com.tw uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer). I've tried all the Mozilla support suggestions, clock (which was always correct), reset Firefox, etc. No change so far, I hope you can help fix this issue.

    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.<br>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 <b>"I Understand the Risks"</b> 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.

  • I get an Invalid Certificate notice when I try to access my https site for my printer. The serial number is the same as used by another certificate. In IE I was able to proceed to this address, but Firefox won't give me that option

    Hello,
    Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support!
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Can LabVIEW access an HTTPS site behind a proxy?

    I have been trying to use LabVIEW to access an https site through our corporate firewall/proxy and have been unable to get it to work. Does anyone have any experience with this and or know whether this should be able to be done?
    I have successfully been able to get LV to access websites (http and https) without going through a firewall and thanks to posts on these forums figured out how to access an http site through the firewall but have come up blank when trying any https sites. Below are some test cases I have tried. All of these sites are easily accessed via browsers so it isn't due to firewall/proxy iblocking.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    -- Harold
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I suspect the SSL handshake failing is getting close to the source of the problem.
    We have the same proxy port (8080) for both http and https as far as I can tell. I have used wireshark to monitor the message flow and LV is doing something quite different than my browser does.
    The browser opens a connection to the proxy (on port 8080) and then issues a CONNECT command to the proxy to access the ultimate location and then does a SSL handshake. 
    LabVIEW opens a connection to the proxy but then appears to be encrypting it immediately without a SSL handsake that I can see. 
    My speculation is that the underlying LabVIEW code is not really proxy aware and doesn't know how to issue a CONNECT command or equivalent. I'd be glad to be proven wrong with someone demonstrating this works for them (I've posted a sample VI in a previous post).
    I can also post the wireshark message info if it would help anyone troubleshoot what is going on.

    By default there is no username and password is admin in lower case...If that does not work then,you need to reset the router for 30 seconds by pressing the reset button on the router and then,you have to reconfigure all the settings again from scratch.

  • OS X Lion access only HTTPS sites

    Following latest (this past week) security update to OS X Lion, my browsers (both Safari and Firefox) will access only httpsaddresses, not http.   On my IPad, under IOS 7, and using the same network and service provider, I am able to access all Internet sites with no difficulty.  Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

  • Firefox suddenly stopped allowing access to Https sites, saying the sites are untrusted. Chrome and ie allow them. What's up?

    Windows 7 64 bit
    ESET antivirus
    The sites in question are all sites that I've used frequently, they are trusted. When I read the details on the warning page at least one site had a valid certificate based on the dates. The reasons given are not all "expired" there are several others. Here's another example:
    www.bankofamerica.com uses an invalid security certificate.
    The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.
    (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

    Some firewalls monitor secure (https) connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
    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.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
    Some examples are ESET and Bitdefender.
    *ESET setup -> advanced setup -> extend web and email tree -> SSL
    *SSL protocol: Do not scan SSL protocol
    \*BitDefender -> Privacy settings -> disable Scan SSL

  • Suddenly my TC network only permits access to HTTPS sites- all HTTP sites say "safari can't connect to internet"

    This morning my TC wireless network suddenly does not allow any devices on it connect to HTTP sites. "Safari cannot connect to the internet"
    My OS X 10.9.5 Mac email works, as does GMAIL and Yahoo mail apps on smart phones on the TC network, but none of the devices behind the TC network can access regular websites.
    What's interesting is that the other wireless network in the house (the one we use for guests) does work on HTTP sites. This router is plugs into the same cable modem as the TC.
    I've recycled everything, and did a hard reset on the TC, but to no avail. Any ideas?

    You have the TC setup wrongly .. it should be in bridge.. it sounds like you have it in double NAT.

  • Unable to open secure(https) site in some profiles

    Hi Srini,
    Check the job overviews and spools using T code SM37.  Verify that there were no errors when running AJAB and AJRW.  Also, check the last fiscal year closed for each Comany Code using T code OAAQ.
    Some clients are kept more up-to-date than others.  For example, the Development and Quality clients may not be as up-to-date as the Production client.  Verify that depreciation ran for all months up to the closed fiscal year (if not ran, will see error in SM37), and verify that all previous years have been closed (last closed fiscal year can be seen in OAAQ).
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks,

  • Secure (HTTPS) sites freeze Safari

    Safari works fine on all HTTP sites but the blue bar freezes before the S on HTTPS sites, won't Quit, have to Restart or Reset. I tried removing com.apple.safari.plist, Caches/Safari, Library/Safari, Repair Disk Permissions, Resetting Safari and problem persists. I created a new account and Safari works fine. I am using OS 10.4.6 and Safari 2.0.3.

    Hi
    try this -
    Drag the file /HD/Library/System.keychain to the desktop ( as I recall, this will make a copy,rather than move the original )
    Now trash the original file. ( think you'll need an admin password, but don't worry if you're not asked for one )
    Try Safari once more......
    This has worked for a number of users experiencing https problems/freezes after 10.4.6.

  • Images have trouble loading on secure (https) sites..

    Often images won't load when I log into my E*Trade or PayPal accounts. I often have to refresh the screen to see them. It's happened a couple times on this site, but it seems to happen more often with secure sites.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    Bryan

    My problem was solved with my new iMac. For some reason, secure images wouldn't load always on the mini. Don't know if it was the video RAM, or what, but the iMac loads them everytime in Safari. I have another mac mini.
    Strange!

  • I can no longer access my Lotus Notes office email (webmail). I can get my calendar, but not my mailbox. Both are on a secure https site. Maybe the problem is due to accepting a new version of Firefox? if so, how can I get back to a version that works.

    I can use Explorer to get to to the webmail, but Firefox no longer works.

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.
