I cannot access secured ssl website to check email

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Forums.

I understand that you are experiencing issue with checking email on SSL websites after upgrade to Windows 10. I would certainly help you with this.

I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.

• What happens when you try to access the SSl websites? Do you get any error message? If yes, what is the complete and exact error message?
• Does the issue persists with both Microsoft Edge and Internet explorer?

If the issue appears with Internet Explorer as well, we can try clearing SSL state. let's try these steps below to do so:

Try to clear the SSL state from Internet Options and check.

• Press Windows key+R key to open Run prompt.
• Type inetcpl.cpl and press enter.
• go to the Content tab.
• Click on Clear SSL state and press o.
• Close and reopen Internet Explorer and check.

If the issue reappears, then do the following.

• In Windows Internet Explorer, click Continue to this website (not recommended).
  
  A red Address Bar and a certificate warning appear.
• Click the Certificate Error button to open the information window.
• Click View Certificates, and then click Install Certificate.
  
• On the warning message that appears, click Yes to install the certificate.
  

Restart Internet Explorer and check if the issue persists.

Hope this helps. Please let us know the results. Feel free to write us back for any further assistance with Windows, we'll be glad to assist you.

 

IIS not working

Sorry to re-open this thread but..

It is true what support advice above suggests.

Using Chrome to open EAC for the first time it might originate this error.

Using IE solves the issue.

Still I ask, is it due the missing certificate error?

(Note: On Windows Server)

 

IIS server delivers an old, expired SSL Certificate, giving ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

I enabled IIS on one of my machines (Win 10), made a tiny website, bought an SSL Cert (SECTIGO, not self-signed), installed it. All went OK. When I test the website in IIS or from any other machine or browser, it gives this error: ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID. If I click the error, it shows that the SSL certificate for the website is not the one I bought and installed, but an old one that expired over 2 years ago. I don't know where it's coming from, and it's not one I ever added or bought.

The website is in the ddnsfree.com domain from dynu.com, the certificate was purchased from dynu.com for that domain, the website is set up as https: on port 443.

I've scoured every certificate store on my computer, and the registry, and can't find the bad cert to delete it. It isn't in IIS. In IIS, the correct cert is bound to the website. If I use SSLLabs.COM to analyze the website, it gets an "A" grade, everything is correct and the ONLY cert is the one I just bought, which expires a year from now. DigiCert SSL scan also finds nothing wrong, and finds only the new cert. I also deleted and re-created the website twice. No good.

Even more strange, I turned off the computer with IIS Express and I still get the same browser error on other machines, even after flushing their caches!!! Some cache, somewhere on the internet must have this bogus information stuck in it, but where else can I look? Any help will be much appreciated!

Here's what I've tried: I have deleted and redone the website bindings in IIS, checked the port-forwarding and IP addresses across my local network, checked certificate bindings on all local IP addresses, deleted and remade the website, searched the computer for the bogus certificate that keeps coming from IIS, disabled anti-virus, firewall, VPN, verified that HTTPS protocols are set in IIS for the website, tested the website with outside tools. I'm missing something, but sure don't know what.
