A trusted HTTPS connection could not be established for the hostname.
What is an SSL/TLS certificate?
A TLS certificate links a hostname to a cryptographic identity trusted by browsers. A secure connection requires the correct hostname, valid dates and a complete chain to a trusted certificate authority.
What to do next
- Confirm the certificate includes the exact hostname.
- Install the complete intermediate chain.
- Check expiry, DNS routing and SNI configuration.
How to verify the fix
Test in a private browser and with an independent certificate checker.
When this result may be wrong
Private certificate authorities, restrictive firewalls and a recently changed DNS address can produce different results.
