11:34 Dyrcona Anyone else had reports of the XUL client not accepting SSL certificates this morning? We've had to have our few XUL users add SSL exceptions.
11:37 berick Dyrcona: that happened over the weekend here
11:37 berick thought it might be some local firewall mainteance, but maybe a windows update thing?
11:38 Dyrcona berick: I see it on Linux, too. I suspect a XULRunner SSL/Date bug.
11:38 jeff Dyrcona: is one of your certs cross-signed by the AddTrust root cert that expired over the weekend?
11:38 Dyrcona jeff: I don't know. We have Comodo.
11:39 Dyrcona I'll see what the cert. itself says.
11:40 jeff s/one of your certs/one of the certs in your chain/
11:43 jeff With Comodo (now Sectigo), it's likely that.
11:44 Dyrcona Firefox and Chromium are not issuing warnings.
11:44 * jeff nods
11:44 jeff see https://support.sectigo.com/articl​es/Knowledge/Sectigo-AddTrust-Exte​rnal-CA-Root-Expiring-May-30-2020
11:45 jeff and https://support.comodoca.com/Com_Knowle​dgeDetailPageSectigo?Id=kA01N000000rgSZ has a bit more in the way of details, but not as much actionable info
11:45 jeff "If a system or application only trusts the AddTrust External CA root and not the more modern Comodo or USERTrust roots – errors will occur after May 30th, 2020."

11:48 csharp yeah, we hit the same issue with our app on older Android version
11:48 csharp s
11:48 jeff In addition to the challenge of not having the newer unexpired root cert used to cross-sign, some SSL implementations have a poor "best" logic and will match the expired cert and stop searching.
11:48 Dyrcona jeff++
11:48 csharp jeff++
11:49 mmorgan jeff++
11:49 csharp this is very clear too https://ohdear.app/blog/resolving-the-addtr​ust-external-ca-root-certificate-expiration
11:49 csharp ^^actionable details :-)
11:49 csharp at least as far as removing the expired cert goes
11:52 jeff Sorry I can't give any more practical advice. I'm aware of the issue, but happily have not had anything broken come to my attention here. :-)
11:54 Dyrcona csharp: So, it looks like I can remove the AddTrust cert, and it should just work?
12:05 jihpringle joined #evergreen
12:25 csharp Dyrcona: worked for me
12:26 csharp Dyrcona: well, what I mean is, it didn't break anything with modern browsers, etc., fixed the nagios check that was angry
12:26 csharp not sure if it fixes legacy TLS client access
12:26 csharp (probably not)
12:26 csharp still waiting to hear back from kenstir about whether it fixed an android app issue
12:42 Dyrcona I'm going to test removing the AddTrust cert from the chain and see what happens. I'm told that just adding the SSL exception doesn't always work with XUL. Worked for me on Linux.

13:01 csharp "oh, by the way guys, we'll be migrating fully to the web client today!"
13:03 Dyrcona :)
13:29 rfrasur Dyrcona, do you have many libraries still running the XUL client?
13:44 Dyrcona rfrasur: Too many. Some only use it for certain tasks though because it is still better in their mind for those things. And no, I don't know off the top of my head what those tasks are.
13:44 Dyrcona And, it doesn't look removing the AddTrust certificate helps with XULRunner. I still have to add an exception.
14:08 Dyrcona It must be Monday.
14:20 mmorgan Dyrcona++ # knowing what day it is :)
