Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates. Error contacting server.

This error message was received when trying to upload saved solution to Puzzle 549 on Friday, 12:41 AM, EST.

I'm using Mac OS Lion on Macmini.

I have the same error "Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates", which gives me an error contacting server. I had just finished all the tutorial games and had spent a few hours on the first flu virus puzzle, but when I finally gave up and quitted the program, I was unable to get back on-line again. I'm using Leopard on an iMac. What do I do to get back on-line, Help!!!

It was suggested in global chat to change the date back to bypass this issue. HOWEVER; doing this may disqualify you from the puzzles you are working on !! DO NOT CHANGE THE DATE !!

I did this and possibly lost all my work, can any of the developers please confirm or deny this ?
Can this 'disqualification' be undone ?

The website is not updating the scores for any puzzle.

545 expires at 5:00 AM, today, University of Washington time. I am certain this issue won't be resolved before then. Is the deadline for that puzzle being extended until after the problem is fixed? I jumped a few ranks, overnight, and don't want to not be credited for it.

Same error as the others and same concern as Boots. Also lose any ability to set scripts while at work losing and additional 10 hours. Not good.

My client was open all night running a script.

I never got the error message, but my recorded score is 41 points lower than my score when the puzzle expired.

grrr!

All, the issue is understood and the issue is global.

  • Scores are not updating on the server, local clients are still running and scoring.
  • New clients cannot log on due to the certificate expiration
  • New clients COULD log on if the date is set back by a few days, but this will likely void your running client's scores. So for your own sake, do not do this. Also, old puzzles will show up as 'expired' when starting new clients this way.

It is advised to leave your clients running, not change puzzles and wait for the certificate issue to be resolved. Most likely the score you have on your client will show up on the website as soon as the certificate is updated.

Please do not add your 'me too' posts unless there is significant technical news to report.

The problem has been reported to Seth Cooper by mail this morning CET by myself and I'm sure they will fix it as soon as possible. Please be patient, we're all in the same boat.

Thanks.
