<p>Has anyone been able to access WebSIS yet? I thought I had the certificates properly installed but I am still unable to load the websis page, over a variety of networks. Any help appreciated.</p>

2

<p>when you downloaded the certicates did it ask you to set a password?</p>

3

<p>Can you access other pages which require certificates?</p>

<p>It looks in my browser like student.mit.edu has to present its own certificate to you when you present your certificate to it. Maybe you could make sure you’re getting that certificate.</p>

<p>Aislynn: No, it didn’t.</p>

<p>Mollie, you’re right, I seem to be having larger certificate problems than I originally suspected. I remember being able to access <a href=“https://web.mit.edu%5B/url%5D”>https://web.mit.edu</a>, but I can no longer? So I’m going to try reinstalling certificates (again), or just wait a week or so (I can try from home).</p>

<p>What web browser and operating system are you using? Have you tried deleting your certificates and reinstalling them? Have you installed the MIT CA?</p>

<p>Can you access <a href=“https://web.mit.edu/consult/www/certificate/test.html[/url]”>https://web.mit.edu/consult/www/certificate/test.html&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Safari version 2.0.3, Mac OS X 10.4.6. I have tried deleting the certificates and reinstalling, and I believe I have the MIT CA. </p>

<p>I will try again tomorrow and report back… thank you :)</p>

<p>Try going through this page and make sure you have everything: <a href=“http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/certificates/guide.html[/url]”>http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/certificates/guide.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Hopefully that will help.</p>

<p>reinstalled the MIT CA, reinstalled the personal certificates…</p>

<p>Unable to access <a href=“https://web.mit.edu/consult/www/certificate/test.html[/url]”>https://web.mit.edu/consult/www/certificate/test.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The error is “can’t open the page “<a href=“https://web.mit.edu/consult/www/certificate/test.html”[/url]”>https://web.mit.edu/consult/www/certificate/test.html”</a>. The error was: “client certificate rejected” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1205)”</p>

<p>Unsure what to do…</p>

<p>Has anyone else been able to successfully access WebSIS with Safari?</p>

10

<p>make sure the date on your computer is correct! (this happened to me…)</p>

11

<p>If you still can’t get certs to work, I would recomend calling the Computing Help Desk (<a href=“MIT IS&T - Redirect)%5B/url%5D”>MIT IS&T - Redirect)</a>. I don’t recognize that error, but I’m sure someone who has worked there longer than I have would. We deal with a lot of certificate issues.</p>

12

<p>in case anyone else has similar trouble, nobody at the help desk recognized it either. They recommended firefox to me instead, which works.</p>

13

<p>It worked for me on Safari, and I have an older version than you do.</p>

14

<p>yeah. The helpdesk guy said he’s heard of some trouble with 2.0.3 too… I guess it’s a broken release.</p>
