can't establish a secure connection to the server

danaleigh · Feb 17, 2007, 02:09 PM

greetings,

my powerbook has started refusing to access a number of websites, instead displaying the message: safari can't open the page "..." because it couldn't establish a secure connection to the server "...".

any ideas? thanks! dana

Which websites? You can try clicking on the Safari menu (when launched), and then on Reset Safari. It could also be something wrong with the website.

Did you try to Safari Reset? Also, in Safari > Preferences > Security check to make sure accept cookies isn't set to never. If that both of those fail you could try creating a new account and seeing if the pages load in there.

I had this problem as well. Adding new root authority certificates from Thawte fixed the problem. Apple has documentation on how to do this here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.h...en/mh2046.html

I added the root and server certificates that I downloaded from here
