[SOLVED] Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch

[D. V. Devnull]

Hello again, everyone...

 

So, this morning I went to log in to Tip.It Forums, but only to be suddenly greeted with a "Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch" dialog from my browser. Why? The cert is marked with "*.netdna-ssl.com" instead of the proper "forum.public.cdn.tip.it". Having denied connections in secure mode to that server, I was still able to log in, but the login page looked terrible. :(

 

Anyway, I wanted to know whether that mismatched certificate (and the associated connections) are safe to accept, or if I should hold off until someone here can get that fixed... :?: ... Particularly since this can leave considerable security concerns for anyone who runs into this situation. :mellow:

This has already been fixed, the certificates would have been safe to add an exception for.

I saw the shift back to the forum's own server. Awesome fix that you laid down there. :thumbsup:

 

And thanks for the heads-up about the certificates coming from the CDN server network. I'll remember that in the future if it happens again. :D
