[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1610627, member: 307555"] Hi! Okay first make sure your date and time on your machine is set correctly. Sometimes if the automatic date box is unchecked that can cause a problem. If the date and time are off the certificates will not be accepted. If that does not work try this: From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Reset Safari. Select all the boxes. Then from the Menu Bar click Safari/Quit Safari. Now relaunch Safari. Try logging into one of those sites. If that didn't help, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. Navigate to a site that normally has a signed certificate like your bank. If you can do this without the invalid certificate dialog, move that .plist file to the Trash. If that didn't work you can try this: From your Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies. Delete all the cookies for the sites you have problems with certificates. Now relaunch Safari and try one of those sites. Hopefully this helps. Lisa [/QUOTE]
