Elecraft.com - NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

The Elecraft site has an invalid certificate, so others having issues
are probably related to that.

Re: Elecraft.com - NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

Hi,

Are you suggesting that this may be the reason why a number of us (apparently all with Verizon FIOS) cannot reach the web site?

Re: Elecraft.com - NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

I don't understand why folks would be using https unless they're
browser/proxy is forcing it somehow. A secure connection is not
needed. And the shopping is handled by cartserver.com

But yes, if for some reason they are trying to access elecraft.com via
https, they would have a problem because of that SSL cert.

That might account for things. The site is still unreachable here in EPA.

Re: Elecraft.com - NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

Non https connections are being dropped in the near future on many devices,
there will be no other way to connect. Unfortunately for some small
websites, that will be a huge pain as the security certificate is a small
fortune annually ($150).

I'm sure elecraft will renew their certificate once someone points out it
has expired.

PS: I had lost connectivity to elecraft.com on BOTH AT&T and FIOS, but it
did come back late this afternoon.

Re: Elecraft.com - NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

Security certificates should cost $150 or more because they should be
identity documents, properly vetted by a trusted third party.

There are at least two CAs that will issue domain-vetted certificates
for free, and at least two under $20.

Interesting, never experienced any Elecraft line fallout. Neither
recently, nor earlier.

Re: Elecraft.com - NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

In reply to this post by Byron Peebles

http://www.elecraft.com is not using any certificates (just checked),
it's just plain http, not https (thus no need for certificates). It only
switches to https when you are going to pay an order like in "Check Out
Now". And even then it's not Elecraft anymore but cartserver.com which
is providing the service and has a valid certificate.

Otherwise I'd appreciate if you'd discuss issues with your internet
provider in the appropriate forums. Everybody worldwide can access the
Elecraft website fine just not a handful of Verizon FIOS customers. Now
go figure where the fault is ...

Thanks,
Olli

Re: Elecraft.com - NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

Yes, it is not an issue of an expired certificate. There IS no Elecraft
certificate, and when you try to force https, Elecraft's ISP host cruzio.com
provides a self-signed certificate on Elecraft's behalf and that is
generally interpreted as suspicious activity. The "issued to" domain is
the ISP and should be elecraft.com and the "issued by" agency is the ISP
and needs to be a trusted issuing agency.

*This server could not prove that it is elecraft.com <http://elecraft.com>;
its security certificate is from host6.cruzio.com
<http://host6.cruzio.com>. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an
attacker intercepting your connection.*
