Stopped working self-signed certificates

All a sudden (and not after a Firefox update) 41.0 Firefox stopped accepting SSL certificates self-signed on various websites that it had been accepted for months. I generated certificates myself.

The link / button to add exceptions and import the certificate has disappeared from the "Untrusted connection" error page

Things I've tried so far:

  • Import certificates via preferences > advanced > Certificates > view certificates > servers. The imported certificates, but Firefox seems to ignore.
  • Exit Firefox, remove cert8.db in my profile, then restart Firefox
  • Restart Firefox in safe mode
  • Import the certificate in the keychain of the OS (what makes Web sites work on Chrome and Safari)

Generated certificates are signed "PKCS #1 SHA-256 with RSA encryption", they are not expired and have been generated with

   openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 1095 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout server.key -out server.crt

In addition to the issue of trust, https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ reported no problems with these certificates, they are fine ("' If trust issues are ignored: has '")

The only way I can access these sites Web is via a private window: If the certificate has been imported previously (via preferences) private session window accesses Web sites without problem. If the certificate has not been imported, again, I have the option to add a temporary exception and after that is done, it works fine.

This problem does not appear on another computer, even if the Firefox profile is synchronized between the two.
The problem does not appear on Firefox 41.0 a colleague (same OS and hardware)
Certificates signed by a real certification authority are accepted very well.

UPDATE:

I have marked this as resolved, but apparently the problem returned once a week, completely randomly.

The best solution I've found so far is to leave Firefox, delete the following files from my profile, and then restart Firefox:

  • SiteSecurityServiceState.txt
  • cert_override.txt
  • cert8.DB

Finally, I fixed that by doing a Firefox "Refresh" (under topic: support) and re - sync my profile.

  • Can I generate self-signed certificates free for Nexus 9 K?

    Hi, I have 22 9Ks Nexus that I just upgraded to 3,0000 I4 so I can use the REST API.

    I use vRealize Orchestrator for automation, and I can't access the REST API on the Orchestrator help link, as certificates are at expiration.

    I can't find much information on this subject for the 9 K, unless the 9Ks are mode of the AIT, in this case I think that TACS are the only people who can generate a certificate.

    Does anyone know otherwise work around this? Otherwise, I'll have to approach a TAC case for 22 certificates generated :-/

    Cheers, Dom

    I'm not familiar with the technology with what you're trying to integrate, but here's a guide on how generate a custom SSC (self-signed Cert) on a device:
    #conf t
    #hostname DEVICE01-NOTE: must not be changed
    #ip - domain test.local

    generate a General key label SSC_KEY module 2048 rsa key #crypto

    #crypto pki trustpoint SSC_LOCAL
    #subject - name, CN = DEVICE, DC = test, DC = local
    #enrollment selfsigned
    # crl revocation checking
    #rsakeypair SSC_KEY 2048

    #crypto ca enroll COMMAND SSC_LOCAL HIDDEN: initiate the creation of SSC

    % Include the serial number of the router in the name of the topic? [Yes/No]: no
    % Include an IP address in the name of the topic? [None]:
    % Generate self signed certificate router? [Yes/No]: Yes

    Router self-signed certificate created successfully

    After this make sure that you do NOT change the host name of the device :)

  • RemoteAccess VPN to ASA 2 7.2 using self-signed certificate

    Dear friends,

    I need help or guide on how to install as State in the title.

    It is this configuration can be made? or the self-signed certificate cannot be used as VPN certificate.

    Unfortunately, we cannot deploy a dedicated CA server.

    But we cannot use as pre-shared key authentication because the configuration would force our ASA to disable the 'disable isakmp am-' which is unacceptable according to our independent auditor.

    So the best solution I can think of is to use the self-signed certificate that is suitable.

    Please advice me if there is somehow I can use 'isakmp am - disable' as well as the pre-shared key.

    Can I generate certificate using my ASA box? or I really need to use the dedicated CA server to make it work.

    This is a self-signed certificate of ASA, but I can't import into my Cisco VPN Client 5.0 it keep saying "error 39: impossible to import the certificate.

    SAB,

    You must have a separate server from CA to issue certificates for the client and register the ASA on the CA server.

    You cannot use the self-signed certificate on the SAA for the VPN client.

  • Configure SSL for OUD 4444 port Admin port-&gt; replace the self signed certificates used

    Hi Experts,

    When installing OUD choose Certification self-signed for ports 1636 and 4444.

    Later I change the certificates used by the port of 1636 to a new key file containing the CA certificates. (Track the steps of: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E52734_01/oud/OUDAG/security_clients_severs.htm#OUDAG00050)

    But same procedure does not have to replace the self signed certificates used by ports 4444!  Everyone is configured SSL (with Cert CA) on the Administration port?

    The failure of the handshake could occur for various reasons:

    • Incompatible encryption suites in use by the client and the server. This would require the customer to use (or allow) a suite of encryption supported by the server.
    • Incompatible versions of SSL in use (the server can only accept TLS v1, while the client is capable of using SSL v3 only).
    • Incomplete trust for the certificate of the server path
    • The certificate is issued to another area.
    • incomplete certificate trust path between the certificate for the server, and a certification authority root.
    • In most cases, this is because the certificate is not present in the trust store
  • self-signed certificates

    Can I continue to use free certificates signed during the reclassification of 5.1.2 to ekkuve 5.2? or do I have to use a certification authority?

    Even with view 5.1.x - self-signed certificates will not stop you to help visualize, but you will be able to see in custody in the client and in the administrator control panel. Best practice is to move to a certificate signed by a root of trust to get rid of these.

  • Faced with Windows 2008 R2 PKI, self-signed certificates &amp; view iPad customer Secure Authentication to view connection server: UGH!

    Background: I was instructed to create a VMware View isolated laboratory test so that HIGHER-UPS can see how they could access the VM dedicated as well as how their developers could put related clones on-the-fly. The project was successful! Yay!

    Addendum: A boss wants to see how VMware View works when accessing his computer virtual dedicated via his iPad on the internet... And who needs a secure SSL connection.

    The problem is: the domain name I chose casually because the lab did not belong to me... So I can't have a real certificate from a trusted commercial certification authority.

    So I'll try to roll my own public Windows 2008 R2 PKI and... All that forcing the iPad to use DC/DNS server in the lab... Get only the single get iPad trust view connection server by importing a sort of certificate.

    Can I export/import a certificate of the CA of DC to the iPad via an attachment... And it happens with confidence. But how to create a login to view the server certificate and electronic-mail/import in the iPad so it happens with confidence? Whenever I try to export the certificate of the certificate of the view connection server store, send it to the iPad and install... The connection server certificate appears as 'not reliable' and the VMware View client will not connect.

    (Of course, I could get sloppy and set the iPad Client to accept untrusted connections... "But I want to solve the problem of approved connection).

    I could be missing something royally on the self-signed certificates and certificate chains.

    (It is a first for me dealing with Active Directory Windows Certificate Services. In the past, I always just installed expensive commercial SSL CA certificates in the certificates Windows Server stores before.)

    Any help or direction, you can provide would be appreciated. I'm rather confused.

    See you soon!

  • RTMPS with self-signed certificate

    Hello

    I have a simple Webcam movie, publish live video

    and then he plays in another video-window.

    It works very well and rtmp, rtmpt, but with rtmps I get

    I have prepared a simple and all assembled test scenario
    info here: http://pref.dyndns.org:8080/live/live.html

    The certificate has been created by me in this way:
    openssl req - x 509 - days 365 - newkey rsa:1024.
    -self-signed - certificate.pem - keyout pub-sec-.pem

    And implement defaultRoot_/Adaptor.xml:

    ... jumped...

    I found the solution-

    There is a bug in the current Flash Player:
    If a pop-up window of dialogue for a reason any
    (as unknown CA or not is not host name)
    then the cert will be rejected even if you
    Click 'yes '.

    If you are generating a cert self-signed like this:

    OpenSSL genrsa-des3-out ca.key 4096
    openssl req - new - x 509 - days 365 - key ca.key - out ca.crt

    OpenSSL genrsa-des3-out server.key 4096
    openssl req - new - key server.key - out server.csr

    OpenSSL x 509 - req-days 365 - in server.csr - CA ca.crt - CAkey ca.key - set_serial 01 - out server.crt

    (increase the 01 above for each new cert).

    and then import the ca.crt from above in your
    browsers (i.e. double-click on Windows for IE
    Open from Mozilla Firefox and click OK).

  • WPA2 Enterprise signed vs self-signed certificate

    Hello

    What are the risks by using a self-signed certificate on an OS X Server RADIUS client using WPA2-Enterprise?

    The biggest risk is teaching your users to ignore certificate warnings.  But tell all to ignore your warnings cert will be likely to train people to ignore all the warnings, possibly opening security threats.  For non-technical users, it's a bad habit to enforce.

    The cost of a valid certificate is not terrible.  If you have decided to build a wireless infrastructure secure by using certificates and RADIUS, buy a real certificate.  I hope this helps.

    I use the QNXStageWebView control to load HTML pages in my AIR application.

How can I detect that the user tries to access a unreliable website and warn (as the native browser)? I saw the newspapers of Wireshark and I see an error "the handshake failed".

  • Create safer self-signed certificates on IOS router?

    I use a router in 1921 and use partially as an AnyConnect (WebVPN) server for remote access in the location.  The certificate I used was a self-signed certificate & trustpoint generated on the router.  I am running as the last IOS available track to ensure that it has all the latest features.

    Do a quick check of SSL against her of Qualys, he seems to have a lot of weaknesses and known vulnerabilities.

    * Poodle TLS

    * TLS 1.0 only

    * SHA1

    * Diffie-Hellman 1024 bits

    * Some algorithms of older encryption which seem to be available (but I've never specified), as TLS RC4_128_MD5

    The encryption mechanism and controls to create the cert don't give me much choice in the matter.

    Is there a new or better way to create a more secure certificate chain on an IOS router?  I couldn't find the instructions anywhere.
