    NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

  • On Firefox-based browsers

    Your connection is not secure
    The owner of example.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

Cause

The SSL/TLS certificate assigned by the domain has an incorrect name, or is the default one from the Plesk Panel.

Resolution

Re-issue the domain's certificate with the correct name, or issue a new one from scratch, following the instructions in this guide: How to install an SSL certificate for a domain in Plesk (Let's Encrypt / other certificate authorities)
