MA site certified by an Unknown Authority

[dandy]

OK here we go again. It seems it happens only to Firefox users.

I found that other secured websites started with Certificate Authority under Certificate Hierarchy.

Does not happen here and also using Firefox.
Looks like your Firefox does not recognize Verisign as an authorized certificate issuing.
Could be the paranoia settings.

I've just started getting this too, not changed any of my setting recently

i'm getting the same error with firefox.
the error message says that it may be caused by server misconfiguration, but it works ok with ie7, so i guess it is firefox to blame...

Firefox is a bit more cautious than IE.
I remember from a crack site firefox would say:

You have chosen to install this file: setup.exe are you realy sure?

With IE the question wassnt asked and you would have gotten a virus on the spot.


In other news:

I also get the certification message, and I find the "pretending to be ... possible ... obtain confidential information ..." a bit disturbing.

But it is safe to login?

In the UK, using Firefox, and I've never seen that message in my life, officer.

[GullyFoyle]

Got that message too today for the first time ever and didn´t change any Firefox settings recently.

i don't get the errror message anymore (with firefox). it looks like MA has actually changed something server side, and the old error was spotted only by firefox and not by IE7... as you said, firefox seems to be more cautious hmmm, interesting...

I am still getting the certificate warning with Firefox in the UK. If some people are being warned and others not, it could be that my browser is loading some incorrect information from cache. I will clear that out and see if it makes a difference.

Edit: No difference. The warning is still there.
