A nice Christmas surprise for the admins.

 

[OKW Lover]

Having the same issue.

Wishing all the DIS Boards staff a Merry Christmas.

Yes, my iPad will let me in but not my iPhone or Windows PC. Guess I’d better check my security settings!

 

[tvguy]

Same here.

Your settings are fine. It is the board that is not functioning properly with outdated certificate.

 

[kathy884]

Yes, I had the same issue logging into the site. Due to the expired certificate, I get messages that accessing the site in unsafe and have to go thru extra steps to access. I'm assuming this will be fixed to keep visitors from not logging on. Keep us posted.

Very odd that it is set to expire on Christmas Day.

 

[insureman]

Same

 

[Brocktoon]

Yup ... at least I know it's not an issue with my browsers. Odd day for the certificate to expire though

 

[mickeymom629]

Having the same issue! Just changed my pw and still having issues.

Public certs can only be valid for 1 year now (397 days to be specific). I manage probably 100 or so in my position for various customers, so it's certainly been an adjustment!

Nevertheless, it's just a warning displayed by your browser and is not a security risk at all. The expiration date is just an arbitrary date.

Happy Holidays to all!

The admins are working on it.

The admins are working on it.

Looks to be resolved!

Do they expire unexpectedly, or did someone not set a reminder to renew?

No, Its a known date down to the min set when the cert is issued... New one will expire 1/22/23.

Well, since the DIS Boards are run by a Travel Agency, and Travel Agencies normally have someone monitoring their client emergency contact number 24 hours a day 365 days a year, it doesn't mean that the person on duty today is both a Travel expert and a web expert!

You can renew before the expiration date. Hence why you never see this on most commercial sites. Just takes planning.
