Re: [Phys-l] Safari Can't Identify "carnot.physics.buffalo.edu"



I get a similar admonition with Windows Internet Explorer 8 whenever I go to the Phys-L Archives.

Subject: [Phys-l] Safari Can't Identify "carnot.physics.buffalo.edu"

If I restart my computer and then click on the Phys-L archive URL
<https://carnot.physics.buffalo.edu/archives>, my browser [Safari
4.04 (6531.21.10) presents this panel:

"Safari can't verify the identity of the website
'carnot.physics.buffalo.edu'. The certificate for this website was
signed by an unknown certifying authority. You might be connecting
to website that is pretending to be 'carnot.physics.buffalo.edu',
which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you
like to connect to the website anyway?"

I always "connect anyway" with, as far as I know, no further problems.

However, the above warning message might deter some cautious people
from viewing the Phys-L archives.

Is there any possibility that a "known certifying authority" could
vouch for Phys-L?
