This error should not be random but comes every time a page that contains
src= or href= http://xyz is loaded.
The error is a serious warning, that the page you are loading contains
unsecure content (http://).
This is the part I have warned about earlier (and dave f. has taken care of
for www). The databases of forum and wiki should be updated (any vm admin
can do that), so that all relevant (ref inside forum/wiki)
src=http://xyzand href=
http://xyz are changed to src=//xyz and href=//xyz.

Thanks, Jan, now the problem is clear for me. Maybe Imacat can do this DB
update.


Coming back to this in light of the recent wiki discussion 
http://markmail.org/message/22jtkldai7opey2f : for sure Jan is right in 
saying that the embedded content (not actually all href link, but the 
meaning is clear) should be served via HTTPS. But I see this as a 
secondary problem: the root cause is probably at an earlier stage.


If we take as example the link Ricardo posted
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50t=65462
all requests needed to render the page are done in HTTPS, I've just checked.

So the issue is, again, with the certificate we serve to the client, and 
I've managed to get the usual erratic behavior (on one system I get the 
*.apache.org certificate and the mismatch warning, on another system I 
get the *.openoffice.org certificate and no warning).


Again, to make it repeatable from a machine others have access to,
pescetti@ooo-wiki2-vm:~$ wget 
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50t=65462;
ERROR: certificate common name `*.apache.org' doesn't match requested 
host name `forum.openoffice.org'.


I've opened
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-7131
to track the problem.

Regards,
  Andrea.

there is a problem, no doubt about it, but the strange thing is that if use
your test on minotaur (people), then it works. I am not a certificate
specialist (medthomas is the real specialist), but to me it looks as cached
certificates (or root path).

on ooo-wiki2, I am convinced it is a caching problem, where the wrong
certificate is stored.

Once medthomas comes back after vacation I will have a talk with him.

 I can see this too every now and then, but not on the browser: reading the
 ES forum rss feeds Akregator sometimes shows, apparently at random times, a
 certificate error.


Your Security certificate is giving errors just thought you should know.
The Error I am getting is Mixmatched Address:
The security certificate presented by this website
was issued for a different website's address.

This error should not be random but comes every time a page that contains
src= or href= http://xyz is loaded.

The error is a serious warning, that the page you are loading contains
unsecure content (http://).
