Security Certificate Glitch

I just got kicked out of SOL because Firefox deemed the site's security certificate invalid.

I seem to recall something like this happening before and it was only momentary. Could someone refresh my memory please?

That happens when the certificate authority (CA) server doesn't respond properly. A bunch of people now will also get this.

It simply clears on its own.

Just out of curiosity, are you using OCSP stapling on SOL?

@Michael Loucks

No. I should.

But I would have to revoke the existing certificate first and redo a new one with stapling.

I've been putting it off as it's not exactly a huge issue.

I think the certificate is perfectly ok, but you need to upgrade your let's encrypt client.

If you examine the certificate with firefox, you can see all the detail including the current SCT dated Oct 3.

iirc SCT are valid 7 days, so I wonder which version of firefox AJ was using, there should be no reason for invalid certificate when the CA is down.

Edit: The Sol certificate is stappled, but the intermediate certificate R3 of let's encrypt isn't. I guess that's why you can get burned when the CA is down.
