You mean this one?



Searching for 'DST X3' didn't find anything.


That's the one that is expired.

It is the DST X3 portion of the certificate.

Since the developers put what certificate is what, it would be nice if they added the expiration date as well. It would help them since they could also see what certificates are going to be invalid in the future.

I think someone made a working bodge last time, by removing the expired X3 certificate (or equivalent).


Removing it does indeed remediate the issue.

That would also explain why adding the root, intermediate and even the certificate for the project itself doesn't remediate the issue.

What do you mean by "adding the certificates"? Are you modifying ca-bundle.crt?


Yes.

But sites that use Let's Encrypt are the ones having an issue since they updated their chain *after* that emergency release in May of 2020. October 5th is a longways away. That will be a lot of lost work and lost computational time. If you are going to use a certificate bundle that is client based, then updates to it need to be made available before issues start. I believe it is unique to Windows that the client has a local certificate file. Either that needs to be updated when the client checks for updates or an option to launch the client be made available to bypass certificate validation.

Yes. Let's encrypt has updated their certificated.

The Root is the ISRG Root X1
Valid from 6/4/2015 to 6/4/2035

The intermediate is R3:

So is there a way to download the new ca-bundle.crt in the interim? October 5th is a longways to go without uploading or downloading WU's. If BOINC is going to force the validity of certificates, then the updated file needs to be made available.
