[Allakhazam] SSL Certificate Expired? (was forum=10)Follow

Having a look at the cert, its valid from the 13/10/09 to 18/10/09 so its a valid certificate. Go to https://secure.allakhazam.com/ and take a look at the certificate.

Yeah I've looked at the certificate but Allakhazam is the only secure site that has popped that warning on my end so I'm just wondering why it's doing that. I can go to any other secure site and it let's me through without any warning. And this is a fresh install of Firefox. Haven't changed any settings or anything. I had to manually add exception and click on Get Certificate. I'll provide screenshots when I reproduce it.

Certificate Warning Popup

Pressed Add Exception then this:

Add Security Exception Screen

Notice the 'Certificate is not trusted'

And the next screen shot is pretty much the same but I clicked on Get Certificate. The next screenshot is the information on the certificate:

Certificate Itself


The date is right on my router and my computer. Both are set by internet time servers so there is no discrepancy in that department. Maybe I should just ignore the whole situation but there has to be something going on and I'm a problem solving maniac :-P Need to figure this out. Funny that IE doesn't give a warning and Firefox does. Maybe it's nothing. And just firefox itself. Let me disable noscript and adblock and try.

Nope same message unfortunately even with noscript/adblock turned off.

You may need to update your root certificates. The sort of error you are seeing would be for a self signed certificate where the browser cannot confirm the identity of the issuer. To check if you have it, you need to open your Internet Options, quickest way is to open IE and go tools > Options > Content > Publishers, click "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" and scroll down to the bottom where you *should* see VeriSign Class 3, that is the root certificate authority which signed the certificate.

You can download the latest root certificates from here - requires you to validate windows which should give you verisign back.

quick edit - yes I know they are using Firefox, but IE/Chrome both use the built in Windows store for certificates, so I would assume that FF does also.

You posted this message on 10-19-09 and the date format in message was dd/mm/yy so the date range was actually Oct 13, 2009 to Oct 18, 2009. So the date ended before you posted. Either way. yes there is an issue with certificates that people had reported and they had expired. Now if looking at the screenshot that was proviced in the thread it has dates of 10/12/2009 to 10/17/2010

Mine has still been doing it as well since the first reports hit the feedback forum. I have just been adding it manually since then.

Worked for me!
