Hi there: If I recall correctly, the CPAN RT system uses a self-signed certificate. Hence the issuer is previously "unknown" - unfortunately, I think due to the cost of purchasing a certificate, a self-signed certificate is used.
This cannot be fixed except by purchasing a certificate. They have come down in price a lot due to increased competition, and perhaps CAcert certificates can be used. But unfortunately CAcert's root certificates do not, to my knowledge, come bundled with a default installation of Firefox and need to be installed manually. Hope this helps, Jonathan On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 4:34 AM, Marc Girod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I intended to submit a bug for the Tk module, via the CPAN web > interface, using firefox. > I tried thus to login, but got an error such as: > > Secure Connection Failed > rt.cpan.org uses an invalid security certificate. > The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. > (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer) > * This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it > could be someone trying to impersonate the server. > * If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, > the error may be temporary, and you can try again later. > Or you can add an exception… > > Does anybody else meet this problem? > Thanks, > > Marc >
