"ERROR: The cerfificate for this server is invalid..."

[Michelle]

Beginning today, this error greets me whenever I try to open TPA on my phone or tablet (both Apple/iOS):

ERROR
The certificate for is server is invalid.
You might be connecting to a server
that is pretending to be
"www.pinballanalytics.com" which
could put your confidential information
at risk. Would you like to suppress this
message (Closing the App will bring it
back)?

Below the error pop-up are No and Yes buttons (with No in boldface).

Are any other people using iOS getting this error? (I assume the No button is the safe way to proceed, right? (I just closed the app and came here to inquire about it.)

 

[Gord Lacey]

My guess is that they have a security certificate that needs to be renewed on their server. I get the same message.

 

[Michelle]

Is it safe to proceed? If you click the "no" button, does error message go away and allow you to play the game?

(I'm a bit put off by this, having just spent a ton of money to buy seasons 3-7... )

 

[Gord Lacey]

Yeah, I just dismissed the error and could play without problems.

As of Sunday night the “certificate error” persists ...

People who logged out have not been able to log in, some mobile people are unable to play tables they own.

This is a rather foreboding event given the uncertainty of what happens to our tables if Farsight's servers ever go down for good.

 

[Bob]

No leaderboards either. Neat!

The error is on the pinballanalytics website - it's the website that tracks your account stats and tables (obtained via kickstarter) and all that. Someone forgot to renew the certificate. Of course, it happens during Memorial Day weekend, ensuring it's down for the maximum amount of time, unless someone actually goes in and fixes it.

If you buy your tables using the stores, everything will be fine as the store maintains the purchase status. The only thing you lose with Farsight's servers going down would be the tables recorded by your account - so your kickstarter rewards, points, etc.

Yup it has expired 2018-05-26 Soo they need to renew it and install on there servers.

 

[blompottan]

Have sent support and Jay who is the contact on the certificate an email regarding this issue.

Lol, I thought the same thing.

 

[Heretic]

Lol, I thought the same thing.

Is th issue effecting your actual game, open uestion to everyone, farsight can get little lazy on maintenance nothing new, i wouldnt worry, tho pinch of salt we still got freaks with fake scores,

 

[Kolchak357]

Only a major issue if you logged out and can’t log back in to acces the pins you own. Also no access to leaderboards, like playing offline.
Not a big deal for me.

 

[cjchand]

Aaaaaand we wonder why they’re losing the WMS licenses

 

[Michelle]

It looks like the problem has been fixed.

At least I'm not getting the pop-up error message anymore.
