UWinnipeg message re: Firefox message that "your connection is not secure" #50

Closed LBST closed 5 years ago

LBST commented 6 years ago

Email just received from UWinnipeg: Hello Desmond, I was contacted by students and a professor, who want to use Labour Studies Index, that the site gives a security warning that they cannot proceed to use the site. I have attached an example of what they might be seeing on the screen when they try to use the Index. Can you fix your server to be secure?? Thank you,

The website is blocked again by firefox when I tried to go to it just now. The message that displays is: Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to labourstudies.ca. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

Your computer clock is set to 2019-04-05. Make sure your computer is set to the correct date, time, and time zone in your system settings, and then refresh labourstudies.ca.

If your clock is already set to the right time, the website is likely misconfigured, and there is nothing you can do to resolve the issue. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

And it's back. The certificate is updated automatically, but nginx doesn't refresh its cached version of the certificate, so it ends up serving up the stale certificate instead of the new one.
