[If this post helps to resolve your issue, please click the 'Mark as Answer' or 'Helpful' button at the top of this message. By marking a post as Answered, or Helpful you help others find the answer faster.] You may receive a message popping up on certain web sites when using Microsoft IE that says “The security certificate has expired or is not yet valid“. Try these steps to solve it.
Fix 1 – Check Date and Time
- Double-click on the time in the lower right corner on the Taskbar, select “Date and time settings“.
- Ensure the time, date, and time zone are set correctly.
If the time keeps switching on your computer, it may need a new CMOS battery. You can usually replace them yourself. They usually are the same type of battery as you would use in a watch.
Fix 2 – Install the Certificate
Be sure you know what you’re doing before performing these steps.
Certificate Is Not Yet Valid
- Select “Continue to this website (not recommended)” if you trust the connection to the website.
- Select the area of the Address Bar that says “Certificate Invalid“.
- Select “View certificates“.
- Walk through the wizard to install the certificate. You may have to manually browse to place it in the “Trusted Root Certification Authorities“.
Hi Paul,
Thank you for letting us know the status of the issue in detail.
Certificate Not Valid Error
Before performing a system restore, let’s try this following steps and check if it helps.
Since we are facing this issue only while accessing MSN website (Homepage), let’s try to change the security level of Internet Explorer and check if it helps.
This problem can occur if you have a website in the trusted sites list. If the complete cycle of websites used in the log in process aren’t in the same security zone (Internet, Trusted Sites, etc.). Try removing all websites related to the website you are logging into from the Trusted/Restricted sites list and resetting your security zone settings back to default:
a.Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Internet Explorer, and then, in the list of results, click Internet Explorer.
Sims 4 three way models. Age of z modded 4. b.Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
c.Click the Security tab.
d.Click reset all zones to default level.
e.Click OK, and then reopen Internet Explorer and check if it helps.
Hope the information provided is helpful.
I have systems that sometimes lose time drastically due to low RTC battery voltage such that the system time lies outside these boundaries (
/etc/openvpn/certificate
):I would still like to have these systems connect to the VPN, so I don't get messages like:
Feb 6 13:50:58 hostname ovpn-client[2217]: VERIFY ERROR: depth=1, error=certificate is not yet valid: /C=ZA/ST=GA/L=Johannesburg/O=Embedded_IQ/CN=Embedded_IQ_CA/[email protected]
I can avoid this problem by simply correcting the datetime on these systems, but it's not always feasible.. these are remote systems.

You could simply synchronize the time using
Tshepangntp
right before your are starting the connection, e.g. by using a little script to connect to the VPN:27.2k7272 gold badges190190 silver badges267267 bronze badges
