Umm, I’ve searched and searched and I can’t find any reference…
the Devsupport forum has been down for a few days; any news on what’s going on and when they’ll fix their security stuff?
Please merge this if there’s another post on this.
Hi @FlyingsCool5650
This is a known issue & has already been escalated within the MS team.
No ETA on when the site will be back online at this time.

Thanks!
A message under “News” to that affect would be useful. It’s been down for days. Kind of annoying to have to keep checking if it’s up yet when a message under news would do it.
It’s not down. You can access it by clicking advanced then proceed anyway, or something like that if using chrome.

Wow, I’ve never seen a T before, on a prominent public site at least. That’s really bad.

yeah, Firefox doesn’t let me do that… And I’ve gotta say, I kinda like that.
Not a chrome user here, I’ve had too many issues with it.
EDGE doesn’t let me do it. Anyways there is still activity in the Dev Forum. I am surprised MS let the security certificate expire…lol

I click Advanced in Chrome and it just tells me I can’t go there.
So now when I copy and paste the url into chrome I get in the Dev Forum immediately.
But I still have the warning next to the URL the site isn’t secure.
We do that at work, via Let’s Encrypt. It works very well.
this is disgraceful !
renew your certificates .. You invented the darned things
You are currently preventing me from developing for YOUR SIM ! 
There are ways around this, though. It isn’t a “dodgy” certificate or site, just expired.
I know its just expired but you’d think the worlds biggest Software company could sort it out ?

Some browsers, if you can’t just click on “proceed anyways” - click in the white space on the page, and type “thisisunsafe” and it lets you through.
The thing is, Microsoft is a Certificate Authority, they issue their own certificates.
Most TLS / SSL certificates are issued for about 1 year, however, for increased security, starting this year, the maximum validity of any certificate will start to be reduced, with a goal of a maximum of 47 days by 2029. So auto-renew will become an increasingly important aspect.
WELL FFS ! ! ! !
I thought this was a wind up but it works
(Unless I am just being a ■■■■■■■) LOL
Some browsers allow this, some don’t.
The person(s) responsible for renewing this are dreading the Monday morning meeting.

I was curious so checked the certificate for the forums. It also has a wildcard as a SAN, so could be used for the dev. support site as well.
