Ssl – Webkit does not work with GoDaddy SSL certificates

certificategodaddyssl

Web purchased an ssl certificate from GoDaddy and installed it correctly. But, on any webkit browser it says that the site is not trusted. Does anyone have any idea why webkit would not like GoDaddy certificates?

Here are the site details:

Could it be an older version of Apache or openssl? Would this effect the validity of the certificate?

Contacting GoDaddy has been no help, they know nothing more than what they read out of their support manuals.

It's more likely to be an issue at the client end: do your webkit-based clients have the latest trusted root certificates installed? Also, have you installed GoDaddy's intermediate and root certificates on your webserver?

sometimes u need to add a SSLCertificateChainFile option in your apache2.conf.

For example, we use SureServer for our SSL certificates. Sometimes browsers to not contain the full tree for the SSL certificate andu need to supply the missing piece:

SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile ...
SSLCertificateKeyFile ...
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/sureserverEDU.pem

So u probably need to add your 3rd party CA there.

If I recall correctly rapidSSL has a chain file (RapidSSL_CA_bundle.pem)

You would have to buy a new SSL certificate for the right domain (common name), as you cannot just change it as you want.
