Macos – “The site’s security certificate is not trusted!” on every SSL page

google-chromemacos

I'm using the latest Chrome dev build on Mac OS X. Recently, I've been getting this message on any HTTPS webpage when I visit it the first time:

The site's security certificate is not trusted!
You attempted to reach checkout.google.com, but the server presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may mean that the server has generated its own security credentials, which Google Chrome cannot rely on for identity information, or an attacker may be trying to intercept your communications. You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site.

Why is this here, and how can I fix it? It may be because of my development build, but many other people use the dev version also, and I expect it would be fixed quicker then this.

What's the date and time set to on your computer? If it's significantly behind or ahead then certificates will fail validation as being not yet valid or expired.

You may also want to check that you have the latest trusted root certificates installed.
