Safari cannot connect to secure websites

This problem just started happening with me as well. 10.3.9, Safari 1.3.1. Problems started after my iMac G5 had to be hard rebooted after the Apple products screensaver froze up the machine.

Also had to use Firefox to log on here - would prefer to use Safari.

Thanks.

Just resolved my problem by trashing the file named "System.Keychain" in Library/Keychains/ folder and restarting.

Eric's solution about trashing the keychains file in Liabraries worked for me. I had been having the same (no access to secure sites, including the Apple discussions site). Eric's solution fixed it

Try it

Thanks Eric

I tried that fix, unfortunately didn't work. Same exact issue, did the upgrade to 1.3.1, for 10.3.9 and can't log in to secure sites. Any additional fixes or advice appreciated.

Hi Eric. Great solution. Worked like a charm for me.

Incidentally, it wasn't just Safari, at least not on my machine. It was Explorer, Opera, Omniweb, Firefox, ....

But now everything is working. Thanks!

It didn' work for me , now my system keychain is gone what now?

Did you restart? If so, and it still doesn't work, then you have a different problem than the folks for whom it does work. Don't worry about the system keychain. If you need it again, the system will create it.

Hi Mark,
Yes i did restart BTW I found the system key chain file, and on closer examination, found it to contain my user keychain,3 system and 1- X509 Anchors keychains. the X509 has lots of things in it, the system keychains have very little in them, and my user keychain has a few recent keys, Was I supposed to empty the trash after moving the folder?

Thank's Eme,
looks like I've got more reading to do, type at you later, Robert. 😉

Thats what I do read & read....

As a new note: after returning the keychain file back to origional folder, now safari is working fine again. Any one think just moving the keychain works, (sort of like blessing the old system 9)
Scratching the noggin here???

Hi all, this might seem a little out of no where, but I had that problem ages ago, cant remember what version of everything I was on... but yeah... the thing that fixed it for me was something in the network settings... I unclicked the tick in The Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS). And then safari has perfect for me ever since.

Hi Evelyn,
I had that same issue, with the Web Proxy being checked, I could not Navigate
anywhere but to my servers Start page (Earthlink) but I did not apply the check the Scamblocker features would do it.
Turn "Scamblocker" on & Web Proxy would get check back on, & I would get a Message that "My Network settings were changed by another Application". Scamblocker a feature that will alert you to scam websites, it just did not seem compatible,or just not working right. So I do not use that at all anymore.
Good thought.+ 2u
