How to Fix SSL Connection Errors

● If the issuer name is in line with that in the above picture (like GeoTrust xxx), it is recommended to contact customer service, providing the screenshots of the certificate and login error messages, as well as local logs (which can be accessed by opening File Explorer and entering %appdata%\moomoo\1.0\Logs\FTLog). It can help solve your problem faster.
● If the issuer is Global Signature CA2, it is usually because the local malicious software has modified the certificate, and we have temporarily prohibited login considering the security risk. For specific solutions, please refer to the next section titled “Delete Malicious Certificates”.
● If the issuer is the name of certain software, such as Kaspersky or ADSafe, which is usually security software, you can solve this issue by setting up a whitelist.
● If the issuer is a name you are familiar with, it may be due to, for example, an interception by the company network, and it is recommended that you handle it on your own.
● In the event of other issuers, please contact customer service or refer to the next section titled “Consider deleting Malicious Certificates”.
