Talkchess needs to update the security certificate

[Dann Corbit]

I get a security exception when I try to connect:
NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID

Hello Dann, I think it's been taken care of. I got the same thing this afternoon but after logging in sometime later, it was gone already here. So there is some delay possible at your end.

Hi Sylwy, yes correct, that is what I saw also, I overrode it but as you then can check in the address bar on the little padlock icon, there is no SSL certificate at the moment. Srdja wrote that an official certicate was pending and a selfsigned one in place. So I think something changed there but anyway the site not yet taken over by the Pirate Bay!

HGM did install the "let's encrypt" method for SSL/TLS certificate signing on the server, so every 3 months the certificate will be updated, obv. the automated update process now got stuck, and HGM needs to put some hands on.

That's not ideal. Usually, people renew the certificate every 60 days (i.e. 60 days after the last valid LE certificate was installed). That allows, in case of failure, to retry the next day. After two weeks of failure, an alert email can be sent to the admin, still leaving 16 days for manual action.

So cert is valid for 90 days and you renew already after 60 days, 30 days to take action, nice trick.

Can't really use the forum at present.

It is certainly a lot better than renewing after 92 days!

Use firefox.It will give a warning but you can ignore it and continue browsing.
As google wants to block adblockers and microsoft edge will follow them it is be the better option anyway.
