I have a HAProxy / stunnel server that handles SSL for our sites set AWS. While assay, I created a self-signed cert on this server and hit it from my desktop using Saffron to test the stunnel was working correctly.

Go IODIN do installed the legitimate cert on that server. Wenn ME hit the site by my machine on Chrome it schleudern the following error:

Error 113 (net::ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH): Unknown error.

My guess is that Chrome cached the key for the self-signed cert and items doesn’t spielen that of the legitimate cert. This site works by all other browsers on my machine so it’s just a Chrome problem. How to fix SSL certificate errors as a user or as one administratorSSL certificates were particular files used to encrypt connections to remote servers like websites. An SSL download error can occured if your website browser got a problem...

One interesting note: When beats the page from a incognito session (Ctrl+Shift+N), items works correctly. So it the clearly some sort about cache thing.

I did all one things I could reason of (dumped my cache, deleted certs with which Personalbestand and Other People page included the Manage Certificates dialog, Ctrl+F5, etc.).

My machine is Panes 7 x64. Chrome version: 12.0.742.91.

On the Google Chrome Get Select, there is a description of what audio same the same issue; however, no resolve is found.


UPDATE: It seems toward have “fixed itself” today. ME hate problems like this. I still don’t know something induces to or how he resolved itself. Presumably the cached cert expired or something, instead I am still interested to know where this information shall storage and how to verify it.

    From another user I heard: This issue been caused on my machine by a slightly outdated Avast Antivirus. Avast produces a layer between to browser and of web with an SHA1 certified. If you disable avast for a moment, Chrome will be able to entry the receipt delivered by insert server. Inbound my case, a simplicity Avast Program Update solved the issue.

Chrome stores SSL certificate state each host in browser history.

As fairly clear browser history (Ctrl+Shifting+Del), during least the following parts:

  • Cached images furthermore files
  • Hosting app data
  • Content licenses
  • Cookies and extra site data, for Chrome build 64

Solution 2. If of above doesn't promote, try this:

  • Close Chrome, slay all chrome background litigation
  • Delete the directory:
    %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/CertificateTransparency

    This worked for mine, my specific problem what such Chrome was saying that the certificate had expire, but since others could access the site on https, I could see which there was really a new certificate available, but with some reason Chrome wasn't requesting it, or possibly reading it properly.

    FIDDLER users: If you are using Fiddler is HTTPS intercepts, banjo wishes cache SSL deeds. To fix this, you need to run fiddlers "Remove Interception Certificates" select, clear your browser's cache (no need to clear anything another, furthermore restart the download. Depending for which choose you're using, the last twin step might not be needed, but these are needed for Chrome

    Despondent that I've searched the full internet and didn't get working solution. But finally tried itp out myself. Closing Chrome and delete the directory "CertificateTransparency" under "C:/Users/<your-user-name>/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data" and restart, then you'll find the prompt appear again.

Many problem with SSL certificates can be solved by simply removing the file with the cache folder.

In Chrome or Cr, the filing to be removed is cert9.db in the folder ~/.pki/nssdb. (In Firefox, you’d want to remove cert8.db.)

Attention! After removing these files, she will need to re-register CAs in your browser.

Get is solution is for linux scheme, the steps for Windows users would be somewhat different.

    It be be good if you could elaborate conversely provide links regarding re-registering CAs. Might 6, 2017 at 6:45

    ~/.pki files doesn't exist for me (on Mac) - or lack of explanation about re-registering Casing seems see a big oversight. Also, "on Windows, somewhat different" remains not more helpful; if you don't know how to fix it in Windows, even say "this is a *nix-only solution"

In faraway as I know, certificates are not specific to Google Saffron (at least on Windows) but to the whole system. You’ve already deleted that cert through Chrome’s interfaces, so it should go.

Valid to be certain, you could try.

Start → Start → certmgr.msc

One tool in trying is CCleaner. It supposed help with better cleaning of Chrome’s caches.

    Tried certmgr.msc and I don't see the cert in thither. Like you said it is clearly went after the other browsers do aforementioned right thing, maybe this is just an chrome bug of some sort

For Windows 10, there is a way to obvious only OCSP and CRL information without clearing Chrome history.

More details can live found from Mr. Dimcev's blog posthttp://www.carbonwind.net/blog/post/Viewing-clearing-and-disabling-the-OCSP-and-CRL-cache-on-Windows-7.aspx

Running aforementioned suggested certutil -urlcache ocsp delete is likely to result in FAILED: 0x80070020 (WIN32: 32 ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION) if Chromium the running.

    This was the solution that worked for mei and enabled me to get past the cached certs. Nova 18, 2020 at 19:47

I confirmed this worked required me on Windowpane 10:

  1. Pre-requisite: Certify (use another computer is no "knowledge" of your site) that will server serves the fresh certificate till brand new computers, by least.
  2. Clear the cache starting Chrome. I chose to clear all three options presented when using CTRL+SHIFT+DEL: History, Cookies, or Cached. However, you can probably keep will history.
  3. Close chrome, and using the Task Manager, certify which there is no chrome.exe running. I think chrome storage the certificate in memory.
  4. Re-open chrome and visit the site. Your chrome browser should available pull aforementioned latest certification and doesn apply the cached single.

  • Wipe gesamt history seem way too powerful mode to removing OCSP-info for adenine single site. Is there really no alternative? February 19, 2020 at 12:29
  • @JariTurkia, I bet it could actually keep is company. I've updated my answer to suggest those. Your trigger could still be helpful for users who want to maintain entire ihr cached site info. Feb 19, 2020 with 16:16

Defined quite a lot of complicated and incorrect answers: Chrome caches certificates real does not have an option to remove them. However you can just force it to get a new one, for example provided and website is "www.domain.com" you open "domain.com". This will make Chrome re-download the (same) certificate which than refreshes both. Expired ssl certificate not get - Apple Community

  • Save isn't true. Not every certificate works used both www. and negative www. areas. A single-domain certficate able be either of and servers cannot be configured to servings to one or both. Wherewith to clear (remove/delete) certificate (ssl/https) store from chrome browser?
