NET:ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID in Android Google Chrome

[atauenis]

(Splitted from #174)

• Server: WebOne 0.17.4, Windows 7. webone.conf: set to use SHA2 certificates.
• Client: Android 5.0, Google Chrome mobile. Root certificate is installed.
• Problem: NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID on HTTPS connections.

The error appears in Chrome and in the phone's default Samsung Internet browser. The steps I followed are below:

• Launch WebOne on my computer
• Activate ProxyDroid on my phone (with root certificate already installed)
• Launch Chrome and paste the https address
• The below error appears:

• (It says above "An unknown error occurred during the handling of the certificate".)

• I click on "Continue to this website" in Chrome, the below error appears:

• Once again I click on "Continue to this website" in Chrome, and finally I can access the text file:

@Flocondeneige55 , does this problem appear if open other sites in Chrome? Not only the 99.86.114.6 and other.

For other sites it actually depends.

These work:

• https://m.youtube.com
• https://www.google.co.uk

These don't work:

• https://www.bbc.co.uk
• https://guce.yahoo.com
• https://www.samsung.com
• https://www.lemonde.fr

The sites which aren't working are getting a SSL Handshake failed error in the WebOne command prompt like in the screenshot shared in my previous message.

@atauenis: just wondering if you have had a chance to check this?

I am currently not able to test under Android 5.
