this happened when i tried to access snap
It's just because the certificates are out of date. It's not a big deal; click "Advanced" and "Continue to website"
Thanks for reporting this. It's now fixed.
the
button doesn't exist for this error. you cant access a website with an expired security certificate that uses https.
You don't have to worry, dude. It's fixed.
i know. just saying that it is a big deal if the security certificate expires. no one can access the site if it expires.
So how long does it take to update a security certificate?
Once we were aware of it, it took about 20 minutes. We don't yet know, I think, why it wasn't renewed automatically as it should have been.
Huh.
How do you renew a certificate? Or, even make one?
Not my department, so I don't know the details, but I think the usual thing is you pay some Certificate Authority to make you one. It's a digitally signed file that says you're who you say you are. There are lots of CAs; your browser will give you a list of the ones it recognizes if you ask it in Settings somewhere.
You can also use a certificate that you make yourself, but browsers are skeptical about those.
It is like in the files of your website?
I think so.
I actually had to install certificates on a bunch of devices for my school district lately, so I think I know what I'm doing with this.
A certificate is a RSA-encrypted file containing information about the issuer and the server.
Why don't you ever reply to people?
I do sometimes.
Sorry, my writing with a touchscreen is bad.
