: SSL certificate error only in Internet Explorer 8 My SSL certificate works on all modern browsers (IE 9+), but does not work on IE 8. With modern browsers, the SSL certificate for my domain

My SSL certificate works on all modern browsers (IE 9+), but does not work on IE 8.

With modern browsers, the SSL certificate for my domain is used, but IE 8 wants to use the SSL certificate for my PaaS, resulting in a domain mismatch.



How do I fix this? Is this an issue with my PaaS?

This is being caused by a problem with your server configuration for your SSL:

When I checked the SSL for your domain funraise.me using this SSL Installation Diagnostics Tool, it indicates the DNS resolves to IP address 107.21.216.112

When I used this tool to check the SSL for the IP address 107.21.216.112 however, it listed the domain onmodulus.net (which redirects to modulus.io).

Also, when 107.21.216.112 is typed into any browser (not just IE 8), the certificate error states that the certificate is issued to onmodulus.net

SSL's require a unique static IP for each domain they're issued to (with the exception of UCC SSL's, which can have more than one IP). Therefore, I would suggest contacting your provider (modulus.io) to review your server's SSL configuration.

Normally IE compatibility is implemented via some special comments in your site header e.g.

<!--[if lt IE 9]><script src="ie8.js"></script><![endif]-->


If you have a discrepancy between IE8 and newer browsers, it might be worth checking to see if anything like this has crept into your html.
