Cert not trusted

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:aewa.org

I am not sure why that site reports the failure.

But, it is a bug with that sslchecker site.

Try using it to test letsencrypt.org which is the main website for Let's Encrypt. It fails the same.

We usually use SSL Labs or this SSL Checker and both report good results

See: SSL Server Test: aewa.org (Powered by Qualys SSL Labs)

Or: SSL Checker

Using openssl from my own test server also shows a valid cert and chain.

You should ignore that site's results. They are probably looking for specific intermediate (chain) certificates that have been obsolete for a long time (R3 specifically). It looks like they also don't tend to their own site very well. This is on their home page:

OK, Thanks, I'll ignore it. I just now tried https://www.ssllabs.com and it came back all OK.
