Hi,  
i have following problem, iam using a lets encrypt certificate for my domain - but if i open up my page in all browsers it says either unknown issuer or untrusted issuer. i checked the cert on various pages like [ssllabs.com](http://ssllabs.com) and they all show no errors, but somehow this occurs

My domain is:[https://kiseni.com](https://kiseni.com)

My web server is (include version):Microsoft-IIS/10.0

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Windows Server 2016 Datacenter

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Contabo

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): Plesk Oynx

Exactly what certificate and error do you get?

Are you connecting to the right IP address? Maybe it’s set to an older IP in the hosts file, or older DNS records are cached?

Hi!

I just checked the website in the different browsers, somehow it seems to work now, iam not getting any error anymore, seems like there was something cached.

Hi @x1x11x

your configuration is wrong, that's not a caching problem.

Your certificate has only one domain name ( [https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=kiseni.com](https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=kiseni.com) ):

```nohighlight
CN=kiseni.com (5145)
	28.03.2019
	26.06.2019
expires in 84 days	kiseni.com - 1 entry

```

But you have a www dns entry, this isn't secure.

| Domainname | Http-Status | redirect | Sec. | G |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| • [http://kiseni.com/](http://kiseni.com/) | | | | |
| 173.249.6.221 | 301 | [https://kiseni.com/](https://kiseni.com/) | 0.056 | A |
| | | | | |
| • [http://www.kiseni.com/](http://www.kiseni.com/) | | | | |
| 173.249.6.221 | 301 | [https://kiseni.com/](https://kiseni.com/) | 0.050 | E |
| | | | | |
| • [https://www.kiseni.com/](https://www.kiseni.com/) | | | | |
| 173.249.6.221 | 301 | [https://kiseni.com/](https://kiseni.com/) | 0.357 | N |
| Certificate error: RemoteCertificateNameMismatch | | | | |
| | | | | |
| • [https://kiseni.com/](https://kiseni.com/) | | | | |
| 173.249.6.221 | 200 | | 0.870 | B |

So if a user uses the www-version, it's wrong. Browsers cache these redirects, so it's not really possible to check that with a browser.

Create one certificate with both domain names, use that.

I’ll do that!

Thank you!

I renewed the cert in plesk, this time with a www subdomain, but if i check the cert, it says again that the domain name is not matching the cert name - which is still issued for [kiseni.com](http://kiseni.com) and not [www.kiseni.com](http://www.kiseni.com)

Any idea how to fix this?

That's only your caching problem.

Rechecked your domain all is good ( [https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=kiseni.com](https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=kiseni.com) ):

Your certificate is new.

```nohighlight
CN=kiseni.com
	03.04.2019
	02.07.2019
expires in 90 days	kiseni.com, www.kiseni.com - 2 entries

```

And both https connections are secure:

| Domainname | Http-Status | redirect | Sec. | G |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| • [http://kiseni.com/](http://kiseni.com/) | | | | |

It's only your browser cache. You may modify your redirects, now, it's Grade E, B should be possible.

But both connections are good.
