Certificates broken after El Capitan upgrade: "Connection insecure…"
I have now upgraded two Macs to El Capitan, and in both instances the Certificates have been corrupted. The first Mac was the day after El Cap launch, and the 2nd was today - so a significant period of time has elapsed for this to be fixed.
This means that
- You can't add new Google accounts in System Preferences > Internet Accounts - you get "Connection Insecure Failed to verify the server certificate. This could be because of your network configuration or proxy settings"
- Attempting to access Apple websites in Safari also gives a certificate un-trusted message. I'm guessing that if other SSL/TLS connections to *.apple.com that are under the hood fail to connect due to bad certificates, that can only be a Very Bad Thing™.
When this happened with the 1st Mac I upgraded, Googling around I was able to find other people who had experienced similar problems and they advised going in to Keychain Assistant > Certificates and deleting the Versign certs that were marked as untrusted. With the 1st Mac, this worked.
With the 2nd Mac, all of my Versign certs are marked as good. Is it possible to download a patch from Apple that will fix the Root CA store? How can this not have been fixed since the launch of El Capitan?
