Expired SSL Certificate
Mar 9^th, 2021 at 10:12am

I can't log into PA or OzPol with Chrome. Every step takes me to Advanced until it just won't let me go further.

Finally got in through Firefox but it's a major hassle having to confirm you want to go ahead against their warnings. I imagine others are having the same difficulties.

This server could not prove that it is www.ozpolitic.com; its security certificate expired 2 days ago. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

There is a glitch somewhere still.

Good. So, something happened out side your control, because you had renewed the Certificate BEFORE it expired.

If that is the case, you have been defamed in a very minor way by the 'www.'

I have a suggestion which I know you likely will ignore (or

*****

make a facetious smart arse comment on...as that is what you do all the time) because you never take advice from people you sanctimoniously regard as inferior to your freediving magnificance.

Switch to xenforo. It is remarkable in the standard features it has.

When it happens on a IIS server hosting an RDS broker and brings down an entire organisation's ability to login to their profiles, not fun.
