"This connection is not private..."

[Dee2]

While on a road trip and staying in a hotel I went onto the *.org version of the NCWW. Since then, every time I hit the "Home" button I get a warning that the connection is not private. Is this a Mac thing (for which I'm running out of patience. About ready to switch back to Windows machine), or something else. When I ask for details I get some message about certificates. Help?

I have the same issue with my Mac running Catalina. Websites prove their identity with certificates. This may have something to do with the website certificate and not your Mac. That's about I know...I just skip the warning and continue onto the site.

It is indeed an issue with the site certificate. I'm at a loss as to why it hasn't been corrected yet.
But it should not be much longer, I hope.

I was surprised (and concerned) that it started just last week.

Now, if I could only get the Mac to connect to projectors. Then I won't have to buy a windows machine. Trying 2019 cables when they come in tomorrow. Got a gig to train gov't employees in project management coming up in July.

The problem is that our certificate for the .net site with the forum software's certificate is not correctly mapping to the new .com site landing page. Ron should fix this soon.

How and when were we able to get the .com?

Mike, if I understand your question correctly then - We have owned the ncwoodworker.com domain along with several others for years. We have just not really used it prior to the recent roll-out.

We purchased all related domains to keep others from using them for nefarious purposes. We have .org, .com, and several others. In the past they have just redirected you to the .net domain. There are also some related test domains used by our admins to test new features before rolling them out.

Hope that answers the question. Domain names are not very expensive to hold, but can be very expensive to purchase from somebody buying them on speculation.

I still get the warning that the connection is not private

I am getting an error that the certificate for ncwoodworker.net has expired.

 

[marinosr]

Yeah, this is an error (for me) separate from the .com site certificate error. It says the certificate expired yesterday.

Same here on the bad certificate. Tried going to .com site and it said there was no site by that name
