Problems With SSL Certificate Errors

Hello, All:

We are experiencing SSL certificate warnings when trying to access electronic resources. OCLC is hosting EZP for us now, and suddenly we are receiving warnings when searching on and off campus. Here is the certificate warning:

[cid:***@01CFEA17.B470C330]

We haven’t made any new changes to the config.txt file except to add stanzas. We have even regenerated the SSL certificate and had it installed by OCLC. That didn’t work. We had OCLC load an intermediary certificate, and that didn’t work either.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Maybe you have seen this behavior? I am new to the list.

Any assistance is appreciated!

I didn't see any error when I connected to the site, but there's apparently some redirects that make it difficult to tell.

Reading the warning in the email I guess my first question would be:

Did you have the cert cover both lib-e2.lib.ttu.edu & *.lib-e2.lib.ttu.edu, right? Wildcards only apply to one level of subdomains if I remember correctly. So if you didn't, there would likely be an error when you tried to do something like log into the menu or admin parts.

Perhaps if you posted information from the actual certificate?

It sounds like something is incorrect on your certificate or the NAME
variable or INTERFACE is set incorrectly in the config.txt

You can get lots of information about your certificate status and errors
at this test SSL tes site.

I see two errors when I try https://lib-e2.lib.ttu.edu/

* The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.
* The certificate is only valid for *.lib-e2.lib.ttu.edu

The second error can be bypassed by appending login to the URL:
https://login.lib-e2.lib.ttu.edu

The second relates to the issuer. I see these values in the certificate:
CN = InCommon RSA Server CA
OU = InCommon
O = Internet2
L = Ann Arbor
ST = MI
C = US


UCF also use InCommon for EZproxy. Our values are:
CN = InCommon Server CA
OU = InCommon
O = Internet2
C = US

Hope this helps.

Yes it looks like Option IgnoreWildcardCertificate

A wild card certificate does not cover the base domain name by default.
You have to buy a wild card certificate that cover the base name with a
Subjest Alternate Name. Such as Godaddy provides for free by the way.

If you recently installed a wildcard certificate with out the base name
covered that would mean the login URL would have to be changed from the
base URL to a sub domain called login.
From lib-e2.lib.ttu.edu/login...
to login.lib-e2.lib.ttu.edu/login...

Thank you, Jon,

The certificate may not cover the wildcard and the non-wildcard instances. I'll check into this.
