Problem Description
Recently a few of my hosted sites have reported an SSL certificate error, which has turned out to be a certificate listing only primary domain but not the www. subdomain. In at lease one case I spotted a certificate on the server which only listed the primary domain, and running sympl-ssl for the domain replaced the certificate with a correct one. It was a nuisance, though, as Firefox needed a lot of persuading to drop the old certificate and pick up the new one.
It has happened with a handful of domains the in last few months.
Ironically I got an expired certificate notice when visiting forum.sympl.io to post this, though after telling the browser to carry on regardless I am now seeing a current certificate.
It could be a browser problem, but a couple of people have mentioned a similar problem with sites on my server, so it’s not just me and it’s very intermittent.
Is there anything I can do about this?
