Help! SSL certificate errors for fedora related sites from university network

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

When I try to access a few fedora related resources from my university
network, I tend to get certificate errors. I was getting these from
fedoramagazine.org, then from meetbot, and I got one when running
`fedpkg build` that really freaked me out:

$ fedpkg build
Could not execute build: The connection to PDC failed while trying to get the active release branches. The error was: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pdc.fedoraproject.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /rest_api/v1/component-branches/?global_component=lifeograph&fields=name&fields=active (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError("hostname 'pdc.fedoraproject.org' doesn't match either of 'phishing-alert.herts.ac.uk', 'www.phishing-alert.herts.ac.uk', 'f5-phishing-alert.herts.ac.uk'")))

I tried it again, and it worked (phew!), but I haven't been able to get
fedoramagazine to work at all.

I've filed a ticket with university IT already. Their initial comment
was: "site is report (sic) to be using an invalid certificate. It is not
blocked manually by UH", which is probably inaccurate given that we have
no issues with these web resources outside the university network.

Would anyone have any hints on what they may be doing? I know it's a
hard problem to diagnose without knowing what the university IT is upto,
but any hints that I could pass on to them would be appreciated.
