"Security Alert" a secure connection...

[jstnmlr]

I recently started getting this pup-up while displaying a website via a scene with the HTML component. I've tried installing the certificate, turning off every popup in IE I could find. The machine runs XP and the current version of signage player and I don't get this if I visit the site directly.

"Security Alert" a secure connection to this site cannot be verified. Would you like to proceed?
The certificate you are viewing does not match the name of the site you are viewing.

I imagine this is an IE or problem with the site I'm referencing but I want to try to see if it is.
The site is http : // www . novascotiawebcams . com / south-shore / peggys-cove-lighthouse . html

Thanks for any help!

I have this same issue with an HTTPS:<URL>.
I have also tried everything in the previous post to resolve, I'm thinking it's the Signage Player's WEBKIT browser not seeing the certificates.
This may also only be an issue on XPe players

Anyone have any suggestions?

This may just add to the mystery...
After some testing, the "Security Alert" only happens on XPe Signage Players.
Windows 7 Embedded players do not have this issue while showing the same campaign & URL.

Hope that clues the "coders" onto a solution.

We are still using 2 XPe mediaboxes and I cannot get these certificate errors to go away - encountering same errors. 

Also seeing an issue with cookies - can't seem to get the HTML component to store certs or remember cookies.

ADMIN - any idea if this will be fixed, or since it's XPe, is the mediasignage.com world moving on from XPe?  Wondering if I need to upgrade mediaboxes...

Thanks,

To SierraSigns,
   I ran into the same issue...As of Jan 28th 2014 this expired certificates also killed the use of LogMeIn on WinXPe devices.
I did find a fix for some of it...see if installing this Microsoft Root Certificate update works for you. (It worked for me  )

We're having these security alerts popping up on W7 Home and W7 Embedded systems using the HTML component. Obviously not confined to just XP anymore.

Does anyone have any idea of a fix?

I continue to get these messages popping up  randomly across my screens (see attached). There is no pattern indicating why or when they should appear. They remain on the screen until the 'YES' or 'NO' is clicked (no idea what that does, but it disappears), but they tend to reappear sometimes a few hours later, sometimes a few days.

I've encountered the issue on multiple versions of Player ranging from 4.12 to 4.20. Running on Windows 7 Home and Embedded, Intel platforms.

Is anyone else seeing these? Please can admin address the issue.

Thanks

I hope the date and time settings are proper. Would you like to see this :

I've too been having this annoying problem...  After reading this thread with no solution i took some time to mess around with it,

Solution was actually very simple... My problem was with an Xp machine but this should work with other version MS o/s too.

Anyway hears how to get rid of your popup security headache once and for all..or at least till the next issue.

All you have to do is go to "Add or Remove Programs" then "Add Remove windows Components
scroll down and select "Update Root Certificate" then hit next.. once done
load your signage add up and play it, when you see popup click see certificate and SAVE it.. then click "Yes"

and that's it your golden...

This was happening to me as well.  I found that when I used any "https"  the certificate error would occasionally rear up.  Changed to using "http" and problem hasn't shown up again.
