Invalid SSL certificate for forum.middlemanapp.com

#1

An invalid SSL certificate is preventing users from accessing Middleman forums, unless they allow an exception in their browser (as I’ve done to post this).

curl -v https://forum.middlemanapp.com/                                                     ⬆ ✭ ✱ ◼

* Connected to forum.middlemanapp.com (162.243.139.219) port 443 (#0)
* SSL certificate problem: Invalid certificate chain
* Closing connection 0
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: Invalid certificate chain

This is happening once again - the COMODO-issued certificate for forum.middlemanapp.com expired on Feb 7th 2017 (two days ago).

middlemanapp.com is using a Let’s Encrypt certificate, though - but it isn’t a wildcard certificate, so it doesn’t work for forum.middlemanapp.com

Google Chrome refuses to connect - Firefox allows you to add a cert exception, which is not really great.

It’d be great to get this fixed - migrate it to Let’s Encrypt, I think.

I could totally help you with this, if you want.

Switched over the Let’s Encrypt for the forums. All good.
