The test.openquantumsafe.org main site (port 443) sets a
Strict-Transport-Security
header which (among other things) tells browsers to not allow certificate trust errors to be bypassed by the userOrdinarily that's a good thing but all the individual test sites such as https://test.openquantumsafe.org:6002/ use certificates from a private CA, and if the browser has already visited port 443 and cached the HSTS header, then the browser won't allow clicking through the trust errors. But if the browser hasn't visited port 443 first, it will be able to click through the trust error, because the individual test sites don't set the HSTS header.
I know I could make the browser trust your ca.crt but that's a lot more work plus it would have to be undone afterward for safety.
Would you consider removing the
Strict-Transport-Security
header from https://test.openquantumsafe.org/ ?Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
