Problems Using SSL

GunBroker.com uses an SSL certificate to secure our site. Some Internet Explorer (IE) users may get error messages trying to access secure pages within our site, such as credit card transaction pages which we encrypt for the protection of our users.

There are several potential settings, such as date and time, which may cause IE to indicate an error.

For date and time problems, try the following:

1. Click the Time on your tool bar.
2. A window appears showing your date and time settings.
3. If the date or time is not correct, change the month, day and year, and verify all three.
4. Change the time setting, making sure you have the correct AM or PM setting.
5. Click Apply.
6. Click the Internet Time tab.
7. Click Update Now. You computer may not update right away. It will notify you when it has completed.
8. You should no longer see the security certificate error messages.

 If you have verified that your date and time settings are correct, try changing the following:

1. Go to Tools > Internet Options from the IE menu.
2. Click the Advanced tab, and scroll to the Security section.
3. Clear the boxes for: "Check for publisher's certificate revocation" and "Check for server certificate revocation."
4. Click Apply and Ok.
5. Try to reload the page by clicking Refresh at the end of the address bar or by pressing the F5 key. Your page should now load as expected. (You may have to close and restart your browser for the changes to be applied.)

 You may also try clearing your SSL State by doing the following:

1. Go to Tools > Internet Options from the IE menu.
2. Click the Content tab, and then click Clear SSL State.
3. Click Apply and Ok.
4. Try to reload the page by clicking Refresh at the end of the address bar or by pressing the F5 key. Your page should now load as expected. (You may have to close and restart your browser for the changes to be applied.)

If none of the above instructions solve the error, try contacting Microsoft to resolve the IE issue.
