Question

SSL Certificate Error on multiple accounts

Sep 21, 2012 10:26PM PDT

Hello all,

I have multiple accounts set up on my MacBook Pro running OS Lion. There is no problem logging into most sites like gmail web access on all accounts, but for some reason I get an SSL certificate error when trying to access some pages (ex. Minecraft login) from all accounts other than the Admin account. I already looked through the certs on each account using the Keychain Access, but they all look the same. Any ideas?

Thanks,
MacEgli

It appears to be specific to that app or server.

There are many causes so you can look at what folk are writing from JAVA versions, date,time to some antivirus and more.

Your post is pretty good but unfortunately you'll have to pick through all those to see which applies.
