Q: user profile ssl certificate error
I've done my best to review everything I can on the web prior to posting this.
I have a macbook air that recently started having issues with accessing google and yahoo because of ssl certificate errors.
I've tried the resolution as outlined on many high level search results by adjusting the keychain certificate checks as described here: http://securityskeptic.typepad.com/the-security-skeptic/2011/04/mac-users-listen -up-enable-certificate-checking.html
My troubleshooting lead me to making a new user profile on my laptop and testing to see if the problem continued to the new user profile. IT DOES NOT. The new user can access google and yahoo and verifies ssl certs just fine.
So this problem is specific to the user profile.
I'm close to backing up my data and just stitching in my data into a new user profile. My attempts at resetting my keychain have been fruitless. That did not solve my problem.
How are certificates stored in the keychain? Is there a way to trick a user profile to reloading all the trusted certificates as I see them in my new user profile?
Please help. I don't want to transfer my info to a new profile...looking like I may have to.
Thanks in advance,
Jason
