I copied my site to a new virtual server with Softlayer but when I did the the security cert came to. now every time I try to log to my new development site it give warnings saying that the site has taken its cert from another source.
I am using Drupal and cant find where to delete or modify the file to remove this warning.
Any help is appreciated.
https://www.drupal.org/https-information has some information on how to use SSL certs in drupal specifically.
Since you didn't provide the actual error your browser is giving you, I'm going to guess its a domain name mismatch error (like this https://www.digicert.com/ssl-support/certificate-name-mismatch-error.htm ). Basically you will either need to access your site via the domain name that the certificate was signed to, or get a new certificate for your new domain name.
I hope that helps point you in the right direction.

My client has a Wordpress site with an SSL certificate. Riht now I'm trying to figure out any solution.
The site address is https://illustro.pl
When entered on the front page you'll get the un secure connection warning.
I've tried to find what causes this with any luck, solutions that have not worked
replace http with https
change all http to https with Mixed Content/Insecure Content SSL
In the process I've also changed all the URLs to HTTPS in the database on sites where the was the need to.
I'iv inspected the site with multiple developers tools all of them show the problem at line one.
At this point any suggestion would be appreciated.
Try the below code placing at wp-config.php
define('FORCE_SSL_LOGIN', true);
There could be multible reasons:
Main reason is currently that your webserver is not sending the full certificate chain (intermediate certificate is missing). That's the current reason why the browser tells you "unknown issuer".
The next reason could be or will be that your certificate doesn't have subject alternative names. Browsers will stop checking for common name in future.
I have a firebase project that loads properly unless I type the url to my project with www. in front.
This works:
https://myproject.firebaseapp.com
This returns an error:
https://www.myproject.firebaseapp.com
Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from
www.myproject.firebaseapp.com (for example, passwords, messages, or
credit cards). Learn more NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
Attempt to resolve
I followed the "Learn More" in the error above and it seems that
the error might be that firbase by default sets up
myproject.firebaseapp.com but not www.myproject.firebaseapp.com.
I then checked the firebase app in the hosting console (i.e. https://console.firebase.google.com/project/myProjectNameHere/hosting/main)
and it does show only the non-www version, but adding the www version here does not seem possible since I do not own the firebaseapp domain so I cannot add the provided TXT file at this point to the DNS records.
Does anyone know why this is occurring and how to get the project to load when www. is added to the url?
Thank you in advance!
This is not supported.
To give some technical detail, wildcard SSL certificates are only valid for a single level; so *.firebaseapp.com but not *.*.firebaseapp.com. In addition, this is (in my estimation) entirely unnecessary as it simply makes the URL longer.
What I would encourage you to do is purchase a domain name for use with your Firebase Hosting site, and connect it. Read "Connect a Custom Domain" in our docs for more info.
I have been trying to configure a website I deployed on my local server with a self signed certificate for development purposes. The address I want my website to work for is example.company.local.
After I genrated a certicate using SelfSSL, I copied it to the Local Machine store in both Personal and Trusted Certifciate root . But I get the error "Server's certificate does not match the url" when I try to reach the url. Though I can ignore it, I understand that the cert auth is failing and I want to fix this. I am listing the steps I followed
Generated self signed cert using selfssl /N:CN=example.company.local /V:9999. This added the certiciate to my Personal store on Local Machine
From the mmc (type mmc in Run), I add the cert generated above to the to Trusted Root Certificate folder from the Personal folder
Restart IIS
Please suggest where I am going wrong. The url I give is https://example.company.local, but it refers to a localhost certificate.
Please try this guide. From the comments on the page it seems to be working but I did not test it.
If by any change there is still a problem I would suggest to use xca. It is built on top of openssl, has very nice GUI and has templates for CA, SSL server and SSL client. Documentation can be found here.
My IIS site is giving browsers problems. They pop up a security warning that the security certificate does not match the name of the site. I'm using a self-signed certificate for testing. I view the certificate. It has the name.
DnsName.mydomain.com
but the browser is using
MachineName.mydomain.com
There is a CNAME entry pointing DnsName.mydomain.com to MachineName.mydomain.com.
Even so, they are obviously different. Can you tell me how I can get a new self-signed certificate with the name MachineName.mydomain.com, and how to install it on my test web server such that browsers can use either name without getting this security warning?
I can have the browser install any certificate a self-signed cert from my web server, that's not the problem. The problem is the warning. Here's a screen shot of what I mean.
You can only have one cert per site.
There are a couple of heavy-handed ways of getting around this:
Completely duplicate your site and have a cert on each
Use SSL-Acceleration and have two different external IPs on a load balancer that both point to the same internal.
There's also one easy way since you're already self-signing: Just wildcard it (*.mydomain.com). Generating this on a Windows box is explained here and Generating this on a Linux box is explained here.
If you really don't want to do that, I'd just have a forced redirect from one URL to the other instead of a CNAME alias.

please help me
thanks thanks thanks
You can do this via regedit. Go to the following key:
HKEY_USERS\<SID>\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
And set WarnonBadCertRecving to 0
If it doesn't exist, create a new DWORD called WarnonBadCertRecving and then set that to 0.
Alternatively, make a .reg file containing this and double click to run:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"WarnonBadCertRecving"=dword:00000000
