Another item: go to sslshopper.com and click "ssl checker" and type in www.Cincinnati.com or www. and see that the chain is broken.

It's not a problem with the CN or the SANs on the certificate. The issue is a broken trust path. My guess would be they're using a new root CA that doesn't have good coverage yet.

Certificate validates for me (on chrome)

And also https://pulse.turbobytes.com/results/560c589decbe400bf8001bbf/ . Tested from multiple points. The tool does TLS validations.

Unrelated: That endpoint seems to be blackholed from china...


What common name do you see in the cert given to you? I see "a248.e.akamai.net" which is valid.

e noticed SSL warnings based around Akamai's "a248.e.akamai.net" certificate today. NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID is the most common error we're seeing. Can anyone comment on what may be going on? Looks like the cert was renewed or issued on 8/27/2015. Wonder why we are noticing the errors from multiple points on the internet now?
