RESOLVED: NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID for Chrome not Firefox

HighAltitudeNoChutes · September 4, 2023, 10:44pm

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: neutralparadox.dev

I ran this command:

visited https://neutralparadox.dev on firefox, safari and chrome

It produced this output:

Chrome: NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
Firefox: works fine.
Safari: works fine.

My web server is (include version):

nginx(1.22.1)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Debian 12

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Domain through Google Domains. DNS servers from Digital Ocean

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):

yes

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

Not currently using a control panel

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):

Certbot 2.6.0

Hi @HighAltitudeNoChutes, and welcome to the LE community forum

Check with the HSP.
The site isn't serving a cert for that name:

This looks fine to me.

Because you are getting a different [updated] DNS response.

It seems that DNS was recently changed and the global TTL hasn't expired yet.

rg305 · September 4, 2023, 10:54pm

Compare:

with:

nslookup neutralparadox.dev ns1.digitalocean.com

HighAltitudeNoChutes · September 4, 2023, 10:55pm

Does Chrome Cache DNS queries? Just closed and Chrome and works now. Thanks for the quick responses and the help!

Thanks Again.

Your O/S might.
Most DNS systems do.

HighAltitudeNoChutes · September 4, 2023, 11:03pm

Just as an odd update. When I closed and opened chrome, it worked. But then I refreshed the page and its back. I wonder if there is a dns conflict somewhere. I just got the site last night and setup the server at the same time.

@HighAltitudeNoChutes you introduced a typo.
