We carried out a serious server improve on 25 August 2024 which led to some older Mac’s (OSX 11 or earlier) having issues accessing the BeerSmithRecipes.com internet server and in addition the activation server. Since I’ve had a number of questions on this in the previous few weeks I believed I ought to publish the repair right here.
Sadly many older Mac OSX 10.x variations have an previous model of openSSL courting from 2017 or earlier, which might’t correctly validate new SSL certificates for the present website, and these variations of OSX are not being up to date by Apple. There’s a repair which entails updating the trusted certificates checklist for the SSL stack (only one file truly):
You are able to do this from the file finder on the Mac however you want admin permissions:
- Save this connected cert.pem file off to someplace like your Desktop
- Open the Apple File Finder (regular file supervisor)
- On the Go menu->Go To Folder…
- Within the dialog kind “/and many others/ssl” with out the quotes and press OK
- This could take you to the /and many others/ssl listing which has the previous “cert.pem” file in it.
- You’ll be able to drag the previous cert.pem (in that listing) some other place (like your paperwork folder) if you wish to preserve a backup copy (not required)
- Then attempt dragging the brand new cert.pem (one I despatched you) into that folder and overwrite the one that’s there
- It is going to doubtless ask for a password as that could be a protected listing (you want admin permissions)
- If that works attempt restarting BeerSmith
Word: the “cert.pem” file linked above was extracted from Mozilla Firefox dated 24 Sep 2024. Some customers could want to get a up to date model. Libcurl publishes an replace periodically right here. When you want to export your personal checklist from a trusted browser or a more moderen Mac there are websites on-line describing how to take action.
Thanks,
