Issues with Security Certificate?
Asked by Maggie on January 25, 2012security certificate Submissions JotForm problem checkWhen logging into https://www.jotform.com to check my secure submissions (and when a user is directed to one of our secure forms) we are getting a security certificate error? "There is a problem with this site's security certificate. The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address."
Have other user's experienced this issue and is it being fixed soon? This is new for our jotforms and I hope it's fixed quickly so that my users are not "scared away". Thank you

Answered by springdaletravel on January 25, 2012This problem is still occuring! Surely it cannot be just myself and racteam having this problem. I really need a solution ASAP. I'm currently holding off sending a very important email to bring in new business because the form needs to be secure. Please, please, please find a solution ASAP!! Jotform? You're always so quick to answer...no answer now???

Answered by abajan on January 25, 2012There seems to be a problem indeed. I'll alert our developers immediately and see if we can get this sorted out ASAP.
In the meantime, please use https://secure.jotform.com/ which is just as secure as the other format.
Our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Answered by MrB on January 29, 2012Hi, no it's not!
We are still having the same issue. We can log onto https://www.jotform.com/, but have the security certificate warning still happeneing on our website.
Have tried our site from 3 computers (IE), all from different ip addresses, same thing with each.
This seems to happen every couple of weeks, then rectifies itself.
Can anyone tell me why?
Thanks in advance.

Answered by eee on January 29, 2012Hi,
I have checked it with IE 8, and you can find the screenshots of the verified SSLs from browsers,
In addition to that, I have checked both of our SSL certificates with online SSL Verifier,
http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=secure.jotform.com
http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=www.jotform.com
Which version of IE are you using ? I would like to check that version,too.
Kindest Regards,
Ertuğrul.

Answered by Brenda on January 29, 2012I am having the same problem with Internet Explorer, with the same security certificate message as of 1/29/12 4:30pm ET (even with https://secure.....)
This is happening with Internet Explore - it is NOT happening with Firefox.
I have a critical e-mail that needs to go out - this needs to get fixed immediately!

Answered by eee on January 29, 2012Hi Paul,
We suggest you that to upgrade your browsers from IE7 to IE8 or IE9,
In addition to that; IE7 fix is already completed to solve the problem, but it can take 1-2 hours to upgrade DNS changes on your end.
I have checked the problem on BrowserStack, and confirm that problem is solved,
The explanation of the problem may be summerized to that our servers needs TLS server name indication to work on SSL but it's not supported by old version of OS and browsers,
Browsers with support for TLS server name indication
- Internet Explorer 7 or later, on Windows Vista or higher. Does not work on Windows XP, even Internet Explorer 8.
- Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later
- Opera 8.0 or later (the TLS 1.1 protocol must be enabled)
- Opera Mobile at least version 10.1 beta on Android
- Google Chrome (Vista or higher. XP on Chrome 6 or newer.[6] OS X 10.5.7 or higher on Chrome 5.0.342.1 or newer)
- Safari 2.1 or later (Mac OS X 10.5.6 or higher and Windows Vista or higher)
- Konqueror/KDE 4.7 or later
- MobileSafari in Apple iOS 4.0 or later
- Android default browser on Honeycomb or newer
- Windows Phone 7
- MicroB on Maemo
Kindest Regards,
Ertuğrul.

Answered by MrB on January 29, 2012Hi , thanks for the comprehensive answer. I understand.
I know it's extra work, but can I suggest that maybe a diary note is made for Jotform staff to manually watch out for this and attend to it when it happens? Because, as you say : ".... Does not work on Windows XP, even Internet Explorer 8". - there's still an awful lot of people out there that still have that set up!
Hopefully something can be done.
Thanks.

Answered by liyam on January 29, 2012Hello Paul,
Have you tried checking again this time?
I have just checked and so far it looks like it's now fixed on my end. It may have also been an issue from the web's propagation delay as I experienced the same problem some 6 hours ago. But now, it looks OK and I'm getting the same result as Ertuğrul.
Warm regards,
Liyam

Answered by MrB on January 30, 2012Hi Liyam, yes it appears to be fixed at this end now too.

Answered by calhouncollege on February 01, 2012I appreciate the breakdown of which browswers/OS combinations have the problem. However, I have no way of knowing what all of our users have. We just need it to work, regardless of their browser/OS. I happen not to have the combination that gives me the error, so when different departments here on campus that use these forms send me error messages from their registrants trying to use the forms, I don't even have the opportunity to talk to the person directly and ask them which browser they are using. It's very frustrating. We have lots of forms and every time something happens to one of the jotform servers we are asked to either change from secure.jotform.com back to www.jotform.com or vice versa. This is constantly using up precious time and we lose people registering for our courses that feel they can't register securely.

https://secure.jotform.com is our recommended secure link.
We had issues last week with https://www.jotform.com which while unfortunate, they were totally outside our control.
Please refer to my coleagues post for the browser related issue:

Answered by MrB on February 20, 2012Hi thanks for the quick response , but do I really need to muck around & send you a screenshot to show you the exact same IE error message as referred to above???? (Jotform not loading due to security certificate errors). - ....It's exactly the same as the other thread in the opening post and what is being referred to in the opening post of this thread - so It's pretty straight forward???
