Secure Connection Failed shell.clug.org.nz uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed. The certificate is only valid for shell.clug.net.nz The certificate expired on 24/05/09 13:59. (Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate) * This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server. * If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later. Or you can add an exception…

This is one of my annoyances with these certs, as they provide 2 functions at the same time, and firefox goes over the top on one of them! 1. The connection is encrypted. 2. The issuer is validated. In this case, it's only really function 1 that's necessary. To pass function 2 costs money and/or real grief in insalling certificate authorities, intermediate files, and loads of other bumpf.

This is not a problem, but most of the web browsers will raise a warning. My problem is that I created it for shell.clug.net.nz and now we're only using clug.org.nz, and also that its expired. Point is moot given its going away soon. -- Craig Falconer
