Ubuntu Website - OBSOLETE

wiki certificate errors

Asked by metaeoc on 2010-03-03

So this is wierd, ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com and all under it are inaccessible from Android, probably due to a certificate error, not sure what the sitiuation ... here are the certificate information regarding this ...

This is happening in 2 browsers on the MOTO Droid, I know it might not be critical, but for some users necessary,,,

It gets "This certificate is not from a trusted authority" ...
If you select Continue, it will popup and say " Data Connectivity problem" ... "The server failed to communicate. Try again later...

Not sure if it is a problem with moinmoin or an SSL thing with the Android Platform

Are ubuntu servers hosted at GoDaddy? Didn't think so.... why are credentials issued to GoDaddy when canonical/ubuntu own's the site... I digress..

Confirmed that this problem is not limited to the MOTO Droid ...
The Nexus One is showing the same symptoms

The wiki works just fine on the iPhone...

This is a problem with Android not supporting the chain SSL certificate thing that GoDaddy uses:

- https://certs.godaddy.com/anonymous/repository.seam

The only reason these certs say GoDaddy is because they are the certificate authority who signed the certificates.

I did say that the site is unreachable...
That only answers who signed the cert...
Does not allow me to access the wiki when say a computer won't access the internet, and I (or someone) needs the wiki to fix said computer...

Another question...
Why wouldn't ubuntu use Verisign when SABDFL created the algorythyms?
