svn.boost.org uses an invalid security certificate

[anonymous]

When I navigate to ​https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ in Firefox (Windows version 3.0.7), I get the following message:

---

Secure Connection Failed

svn.boost.org uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.

(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

• This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

• If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

---

This can be worked around by adding a security exception. The certificate's status in the Add Security Exception dialog:

---

This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information.

Unknown Identity
Certificate is not trusted, because it hasn't been verified by a recognised authority.

---

MS Internet Explorer (version 6 SP2) also complains:

---

Information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed or changed by others. However, there is a problem with the site's security certificate.

• The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust. View the certificate to determine whether you want to trust the certifying authority.

• The security certificate date is valid.

• The security certificate has a valid name matching the name of the page you are trying to view.

Do you want to proceed?

The certificate (from Indiana University, where Boost's Web sites are hosted) is available at ​http://www.cs.indiana.edu/Facilities/FAQ/Security/CA.html.

This is not going to change. Closing.
