CCRL Website Expired Certificate

Post by Madeleine Birchfield »

When I try to access the CCRl website at https://ccrl.chessdom.com/, I get the following warning:
Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to ccrl.chessdom.com. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Websites prove their identity via certificates, which are valid for a set time period. The certificate for ccrl.chessdom.com expired on 12/19/2021.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE

I think the problem is due to the fact that CCRL does not have HTTPS support, only HTTP support.

I have let Anton (TCEC) know, as he hosts the website.

The website works with no problem from http://ccrl.chessdom.com/, but the warning shows up when typing in https://ccrl.chessdom.com/

Then the answer is easy, don't use an https URL. However we should look at upgrading if possible.

Looks like the CCRL website can be accessed through HTTPS now.
