Invalid Certificate on every secured website

Hi,


I've just updated to 10.7.4 with Safari 5.1.7 and after the update I'm always getting an Invalid Certificate for secured website.


www.paypal.com

every banking sites

etc


The content is not entirely loaded even if I click "continue".


I don't know if it related but I can't install any Extensions in Safari. I had ClickToFlash and 1Password and neither can be reinstalled after the update. I got a message telling me that the extension cannot be installed.


Thank you

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

I'm having exactly the same problems. I can see these errors after I updated to 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7. I'm behind NTLM Proxy. All pages work if I'm not behind proxy, but if I connect via proxy I'm getting these errors. It happened that some pages reported this kind of problem (e. g. https://www.paypal.com), but now they seems to be OK. All parameters of the "invalid issuer" certificates looks fine. I don't understand what's the problem.

Same with us. We are behind Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE) and found issues with installing some packages and registering machines to push notification service.


With Office 2011 SP2 package installation;


Certificate used to sign package is not trusted. Use -allowUntrusted to override.



Also with APN registration with Apple's own server (albert.apple.com) gives errors.


"The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “albert.apple.com” which could put your confidential information at risk."

OK, here's some followup. I have 2 Macbook Pro's, my wife's is a mid-2008 and it works perfectly after the upgrade. Mine is an early 2011 model and is experiencing the same issues as everyone else, as described in my earlier post. After trying all suggestions (without result) and even re-installing the OS and upgrading with the Combo Updater, I still had the certificate error. Since this prevents me from working, I ended up doing a full restore from Time Machine to 10.7.3 and all is well.


I am not behind a corporate firewall, and my wife's machine works fine when on the same network. I did have some ports forwarded to my MBP, which shouldn't have made any difference, but I disabled them this morning, reupgraded to 10.7.4 and had the same issue again. I have just finished restoring 10.7.3. yet again from Time Machine.


I hope this helps move the enquiry forward; I don't believe that the issue lies with proxies or corporate firewalls. Since my working machine is a Core 2 Duo Penryn and the problem machine is an i7 Sandy Bridge, I'm wondering if the problem may lie in the different architectures?

As with you Marc, I've tried a full re-install of the OS at the Apple Store. But, it works perfectly on normal wi-fi when not behind the network here, leading my to think it must be some sort of problem (at least for some of us) with that. Also can't install extensions when behind the network at the moment.

Yep, didn't work for me either. I'm going into the Apple Store in an hour and a half with this thread to see if they have any ideas, so will keep all updated.
