    This morning at boot-up this was on the screen so I ok’ed it to move on:

    Cert-warning
    So far, the only thing I can see that is different is that Chrome no longer retains pinned tabs?? Anybody know what all this means??

      Googling azureedge.net seems to point to MS.

      I ran MalwareBytes Free and Win Defender and they found nothing.

      Google “*.azureedge.net certificate”. You will see that the cert you installed might possibly have something untrusted in the certificate chain. You should also Google how to remove untrusted certificates.

        I looked in “Trusted” and also “Untrusted” Certificates after adding the console to MMC.exe as Administrator and I do not see “azureedge” anywhere.

          Hard to tell with out further details…

          Going to Microsoft.com and viewing the certificate details I see Microsoft IT TLS CA 4. When Microsoft is renewing these certificates are they reassigned the different sub-domains covered by each certificate? Microsoft does indeed use that common name.

           

          Questions for you…

          Using the certificate manager snap-in do you see Microsoft IT TLS CA 4 listed under Current User\Intermediate Certification Authorities\Certificates?

          Is the certificate issued to and is the Subject common name really *.azureedge.net?

          A certificate will sometimes as a noncritical property have all the valid sub-domains listed in the details tab inside the Certificate Fields box Extensions -> Certificate Subject Alt Name. If this old certificate has reappeared again were you able to examine the details section again?

          Are you able the examine the certificate store in Chrome or does that rely on the built-in operating system certificate store?

            Yes, this post appears to be the partial answer for what is seen in the image at the beginning of this topic. Another set of questions, which Azure service was being accessed using that certificate and is it another Windows error?

            Here is what is listed at the location you describe:

            Cert-console

            Is the certificate issued to and is the Subject common name really *.azureedge.net?

            I have found no .azureedge.net listed anywhere in the certificates.

            A certificate will sometimes as a noncritical property have all the valid sub-domains listed in the details tab inside the Certificate Fields box Extensions -> Certificate Subject Alt Name. If this old certificate has reappeared again were you able to examine the details section again?

            It appeared once and I haven’t seen it again. I just clicked “Yes” for do you want to proceed and I have never seen it again.

            NOTE: I don’t use azure or edge.

              Thank you for going to all of this effort to gather information and answer questions.

              That certificate listed in your image (post #1895567) like the others (1, 4, 5) are likely being used for the purpose of authentication, for what set of services and such I’m not sure.

              It appeared once and I haven’t seen it again. I just clicked “Yes” for do you want to proceed and I have never seen it again.

              You might see that dialog again (#1891458) since it near to its expiry date.

              Another guess is ‘azureedge.net’ maybe Microsoft’s new thing called an Intelligent Edge, a smarter information scraping system as noted in this marketing page. You may not be using it directly however but do you remember having any Microsoft sites open before the 26th?

              Back to Chrome and the pinned tabs, maybe this article can help you get your tabs back in order.

              No, I don’t remember any MS sites that I have visited but as you say, possibly Edge need’s an extra snooping permission.

              Back to Chrome and the pinned tabs, maybe this article can help you get your tabs back in order.

              Thanks, I’ll try that.

      I’m getting that same certificate error like the one you mention and I haven’t been able to fix it.

       

      How could I fix that error?

    • #2594824

      Why is the certificate invalid? Check the dates and site shown on the certificate.

      Is the time on your computer correct? If it is not you may get certificate errors.

      cheers, Paul

      I found there was a old pst file trying to sync the Outlook, related with the Sharepoint. So please try checking if you have any old data file in your Outlook and delete it. I am waiting to see if it happens again.
