\"Easytide\" site certificate problem

Tried it this morning and keep getting;



"Secure Connection Failed

easytide.ukho.gov.uk uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate expired on 09/05/2009 00:59.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_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… "



Anyone know if it's a cockup or if something dodgy has happened to it?

I'm afraid that I don't know what the message that you received implies, but the site worked fine for me 5 minutes ago.

If you try this address:-

http://easytide.ukho.gov.uk/EASYTIDE/EasyTide/SelectPort.aspx

and stop using MS Explorer you might have greater success.

I think as it says, the site security certificate expired early this morning and the Microsoft Explorer security centre is (a) advising that the certificate has expired and (b) asking if you want to make an exception (ie do you still want to connect to the site? If 'yes' just tell MS to make an exception.)

I've had no problem connecting (but I'm using Mozilla Firefox as a browser)

I always use Firefox. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Added exception and back to normal, thanks all.
