squeeky Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Hi, Not sure if this is quite the correct part of the forum but here goes anyway. We have 2 different sets of netbooks samsung windows 7 and dell windows vista. When I go to https://www.itslearning.com or https://www.samlearning.co.uk I get invalid certificate errors galore. Why is this only happening on only our newer netbooks ? If I go to any other laptop and login then it works fine. we are talking 32 laptops that dont work. My first idea was the date and time on the netbook but that is correct on every one. Thanks
HarryMonkey Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I just built a new Win7 workstation and that had loads of certificate errors. Seems like Windows might not be updating the root certificates. I got round it by downloading the rootsupd.exe from here ... Download: Update for Root Certificates [November 2011] (KB931125) - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details
squeeky Posted January 6, 2012 Author Posted January 6, 2012 Ive just tried to run that and it seemed to do nothing .... tho when i double click the file to install i didnt see any windows or anything
HarryMonkey Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 What happens when you go to the websites? When I ran it there wasn't any visible evidence that it was doing anything, however, it cured all my certificate errors.
squeeky Posted January 6, 2012 Author Posted January 6, 2012 it just says certificate error and on sam learning half the images and css dont load and itslearning i get a warning before the site and then i have to click continue.
matt40k Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 https://www.samlearning.co.uk/ - the certificate is for https://www.samlearning.com Other then that - run Windows Updates.
squeeky Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 stranger still it works as administrator but when i login as a child it doesnt work :S
robk Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 What proxy do you have set? Winhttp uses different setting to ie.
themightymrp Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 https://www.samlearning.co.uk/ - the certificate is for https://www.samlearning.com Other then that - run Windows Updates. Just tested this, the samlearning.com site works fine, with a .co.uk I get the certificate error. I would check the URL you are using. There is also an odd way of deploying certificates to Win7 via WSUS if I remember correctly. Its not as straight forward as for XP
