"Certificate error: navigation blocked" with Internet Explorer (IE) 8 or IE 7

ISSUE:

When users are trying to access Production URL using IE8 or IE7, getting an error message " There is a problem with this website's security certificate" (Click on below image to view clearly )








CAUSE:

Although the secure server certificate is encrypting data correctly, IE8 or IE7 cannot verify the domain name. That is because there is not a SSL certificate for your particular domain name.

Fix:

We can permanently disable the warning error by following the below settings at Internet browser.

Internet Explorer> Tools menu> Select Internet Options> Advanced >
Scroll down to the bottom (under Security) and disable/uncheck "Warn about certificate address mismatch"

  1. I find that this works in Windows XP but not with Win7 boxes. (IE8-10 allow me to disable this but still give me the generic windows certfiate error. I have switched to chrome to get work done but unable to access in IE on Win7) Any thoughts?
