Question

a window keeps popping up that says cannot guarantee authencity of the domain to which encrypted correction is established.

Application: Google chrome
URL: Googleapps.com ( it happens with other applications not just Google chrome)
Reason: the certificate revocation status is unknown for this certificate or one of certificates in the certificate chain. then it says disconnect or continue.

Can somebody help me what does this mean. I tried to go to best buy geek squad but they said it will be like 200 dollars to get it fixed. and I don't have the kind of money and I need my computer.

HHHHEEEELLLPPP!

Answer 1

When browsers encounter a Certificate, they reach out onto the Internet (via "OCSP"**) to verify that the one presented has not been revoked.

It may be some kind of problem with the OCSP rather than the Certificate itself, but with all the trouble lately with the "Heartbleed" glitch (which suffers even more trouble now), and Certificates being reissued to thousands of sites, it's little wonder there are problems keeping everything straight.

You could disable OCSP, but it's a big security risk.

CHROME> right corner chevron> Settings> tick "Show Advanced settings..."> HTTPS/SSL heading> uncheck box "Check for server certificate revocation".



Not sure what you refer to "other applications not just Google chrome", but it may be similar in nature.

Answer 2

Windows is full of that paranoid stuff. you don't need to pay 200 dollars for that. Just tell it to shut up and do what you need.



You can also go to security settings and study what's checked there and what level of security is put there (hint: it's too high)

Answer 3

It really is a bunch of paranoid crap, but sometimes is caused by not having the most current version of java or not having the time/date set correctly.
