My firefox rejects the certificate also. It says it's invalid. Sounds like a very serious error, since it compromises JOSM's internet credibility. I also fully trust JOSM and its collaborators, but put yourselves into the place of a new person. He would most certainly get scared about getting such an error. Plus is getting a valid certificate so difficult? I honestly don't know how to get a new one but if my feeble layman's opinion is any worth, I definitely think it's worth to go after a new, valid certificate for the site, for JOSM's reputability sake.

  • Ticket #3405 – Description

    initial v3  
    1 1. Tried to raise a new ticket about something else!
    2 2. Firefox rejected the security certificate on the josm.openstreetmap.de site - so I overrode Firefox to make an exception for JOSM. No known changes in my own configuration.
    3 3. JOSM wanted a user name and password but repeatedly rejected mine.
    4 4. Tried to create a new account but it wouldn't do so - just kept on asking for a username and password.
    5 5. Not entirely sure how I eventually hacked through to the newticket page but here I am - at last.
    6 6. Something seems to have gone seriously wrong with authentication on the site.

     3Here is what Firefox's Error Console logged (doesn't seem like it tells a lot about it):

     11I am attaching to this ticket the certificate. I tried analyzing it, but honestly it's mostly nonsense for me. A polite guess is that the authority that gave the certificate isn't recognized by Firefox.

     13By the way, my Firefox version is 6.0
