StartSSL down and out?

I tried to login to StartSSL, but the login fails. I get:

An error occurred during a connection to auth.startssl.com. Peer does not recognize and trust the CA that issued your certificate. (Error code: ssl_error_unknown_ca_alert)

I tried different browsers on different computers and different networks. I mailed them - no reaction yet. I tried to create an account on their forum, but it fails on the captcha repeatedly. I tried to login with OpenID, but no success. I created an account with their bugzilla site, and this works, but I cannot create tickets...

Yesterday I tried the first time, today no change. Does this mean they are out of business?



Don't worry, we've all made this mistake, which is the reason it's the first item in their Login issue FAQ: http://www.s-jpg.com/blog/?p=48

Edit: note that part of creating a StartSSL account has you create a certificate for yourself to authenticate with. If you're signing up for the first time you obviously won't have done that


See https://auth.startssl.com/


I cannot get connected, is this a SHA-1 (root) certificate by any chance?


Works for me. (Chrome)


The webpage at https://auth.startssl.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. Error code: ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH
