I have a problem with a Windows 2003 server. The server is fully service packed and has all the latest windows updates.
Our server cannot connect to a certain SSL web site.
I have checked the SSL certificate of the remote third party website and it all validates successfully.
I have even checked on another Windows 2003 server and that connects and validates the certificate correctly.
The server that is failing to connect is reporting the following when trying to connect:
The remote server (url) presented a certificate that did not validate, due to RemoteCertificateChainErrors. The signature of the certificate can not be verified.
It gets a handshake but then fails to validate the certificate.
Does anyone have any ideas on what is causing this problem ?
I've cleared the CRL cache and rebooted the server accordingly but the problem still persists.
I've installed Firefox on the server and that does not have any problems connecting to the SSL url and validates the certificate correctly.
It's just the Windows OS and IE8 that have the issue and are unable to connect.
Thanks,
Chris
Is the certificate using a SHA1 or SHA2 hash algorithm? Because Windows 2003 Server does not support SHA2 unless you run the hotfix from Microsoft.

I have a host https://arcgis.linearbench.com
I created this certificate with win-acme (letsencrypt windows client) and the certificate is valid on other machines. However, it shows "windows does not have enough information to verify this certificate" error when I view the certificate in IIS certificate store. A browser on the server machine shows invalid certificate. And this error prevent .net application working. Is intermediate certificates missing on the server? How can I fix this?
Please suggest on the issue which we are facing while accessing SSRS Secured web services and web portal URL Error Message
"Your connection is not private Attackers might be trying to steal
your information from <> (for example, passwords, messages, or credit
cards). Learn more NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED"
We have got the SSL certificate reinstalled and restarted the SSRS services , but still no luck .
Could anyone please guide us in this regard Server configuration details are as follows -
-Microsoft SQL Server Version 17
-SSRS product version of 14.0.600.490
-WINDOWS SERVER 2016 DATACENTER
The SSL certificate is configured on Windows server .Also the SSL is configured in Web services and Web portal SSL configuration in SSRS is with (ALL IPV4) and (ALL IPV6),SSL certificate and validity till 2019
There was a patch update last week and post that we are unable to access secured urls
https://<>/reports/
https://<>/reportserver/
but we can access non secured urls
http://<>/reports/

If the site is publicly accessible, please check the certificate served by your web server via SSL Checker.
Compare the certificate serial number and expiration date with the data of the certificate you installed in your web server or hosting control panel. In many cases, I saw that the server uses an old or invalid certificate.

If you are sure that the correct certificate is served, clear the CRL and OCSP cache:
certutil -urlcache CRL delete
certutil -urlcache OCSP delete
You can also try disabling certificate revocation in browsers. It fixes ERR_CERT_REVOKED on the client side.
I am using net socket programming at client side for connecting to the server. When the server is sending SHA-256 signed certificate I am not getting any error, communication is taking place smoothly.
In my personal PC SHA-1 signed certificate is also working fine. But when SHA-1 certificates are deployed in production environment, I am getting error "0x8009035D" at the client side:
"InitializeSecurityContext returned '2148074333"
Assume that server simple windows TCP/TLS based server. Its looks to me this is due to the client rejecting SHA-1 certificate.
Is there any way to reproduce the issue in my PC by modifying registry or workaround? I can't share code but I am sure it's working as expected, the problem lies with client OS setting problem or with the host.
Just had this error (in Chrome) connecting via https to a shop (API) on myshopify.com from a Windows Server 2003 machine.

Seems that Shopify have changed their certificate.
Turns out that Shopify did change their SSL certificate to one that requires SHA-2. Windows Server 2003 doesn't support SHA-2.
There's a hotfix that sorted it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938397.
Full disclosure, I asked this question over at Ask Different (https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/96776/always-get-a-security-error-for-internal-https-website) but didn't get much helpful feedback. I'm hoping this question fits better here.
My company recently changed an internal site to use HTTPS instead of HTTP (it is our Jira site in case that matters). From what I can tell, this site is using an internal certificate. On our work computers this certificate appears to be pre installed so the website comes up without trouble in IE, Firefox, and Chrome. However, my personal computer is a Mac (OS X 10.8.4) and I am having major troubles accessing the site through any browser. I have followed instructions to install the certificate in my Keychain and I believe I have successfully done that, but I am still not able to access the site.
When Accessing the site I Get:
Chrome: Invalid Server Certificate You attempted to reach jira.surescripts.local, but the server presented an invalid certificate.
Safari: Safari can't open the page Safari can't open the page "https://jira.local:8081/" because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "jira.local"
In Chrome when I view the certificate information it I see: Intermediate certificate authority. Expires: Thursday, May 21, 2015 1:19:28 PM Central Daylight Time. This certificate is valid
To make sure that it wasn't something strange with our company's VPN, I installed a Windows 7 virtual machine on my Mac and installed the certificate in Windows and am able to successfully log on to the site how I always would.
I am not much of an expert with certificates and I really don't know where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
It almost sounds like you need to trust a self-signed certificate? Perhaps follow: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/SOURCETREEKB/Resolving+SSL+Self-Signed+Certificate+Errors
Sefl signed certificate always triger warnings in web browsers.
To validate a server certificate you must have in the client browser the CA certificate wich was used to sign the SSL server certificate.
Your company should create a CA cert, then create a server SSL cert. signed with the CA and put it on the web server. The clients install public part of the CA cert in "Trusted CA" certificate store. When client conect to the web server the server sent the signed SSL certificate, the client check if it is a "trusted" cert (was signed by a trusted CA) and if everithing is Ok the client doesn't show the warning.
You ended with this cert chain:
CA cert->SSL cert
CA cert public part is installed in client broser as trusted CA. SSL is put in the web server. Client validate SSL cert agaist its Trusted CA certs installed in its Certificate Stores.
It is like CyberTrus CA. You can see how you have Baltimore Cyber Trust Root and Cybertrust Public SureServer SB CA installed in your computer and when you enter into https://www.bancosantander.es/cssa/Satellite?pagename=SantanderComercial/Page/SAN_Index you can see that *.bancosantander.es certificate is valid because you are trusting in the chain.
Your company needs to create the root, then create the SSL signed by the root. The root (public part) is distributed to the client for install. The server sends the SSL to client in HTTPS protocol.

The problem is probably the encryption protocols that your Mac and the company web site don't match up.
Safari Browsers for OS X before Safari 7 (up to 6.0.7 which was on OS X 10.8.4) use the SSL 3.0 protocol, which has vulnerabilities and is considered insecure. Most newer and well-designed web sites use TLS 1.1 and/or TLS 1.2.
Browser encryption capabilities for Safari 6.0.4
Find out from your company if that is what is set up. The same site that has the specs I linked to allow you to enter a web site, and they'll throw a battery of test transactions at it to test it's security and what will connect, but I doubt you can use that for an internal site. Ask your IT folks what encryption protocols they are using.
As a solution, I believe there are versions of Firefox and/or Chrome that can run on 10.8.4 that use TLS 1.2.
