How to Fix Invalid Certificate Errors - June 2020

Last updated: Jun 2, 2020 by David Raco

Beginning in June 2020, legacy operating systems and browsers will experience certificate errors on many of SOU's online services related to the expiration of Sectigo's AddTrust legacy root certificate. A legacy browser or older device that does not have the modern “USERTRust” root will no longer trust certificates signed with the legacy AddTrust certificate, which includes most of our SOU online services. A more modern browser would have the USERTrust root already installed and trust it without needing to rely on the older AddTrust root, so it's not a problem.

If you are running any of these OS versions or browser versions or an even older version, you should update to a newer version of the OS and/or the web browser! Contact the IT Helpdesk at 541-552-6900 for advice. If you are an SOU employee, you should contact your Computing Coordinator instead.
