Readings & Past Exams/Reserver Online/Masterfile access issues

Not of interest to anyone outside of JCU, just using my blog to list the workarounds for a local issue:

Have logged this in ServiceNow:

Connection to Masterfile is causing warning errors in all 5 major browsers

Apparent cause is mfileprod.intra.jcu.edu.au using masterfile.jcu.edu.au certificate

Affects staff embedding Digital Library items in LearnJCU and the Masterfile web UI

Student access to Readings & Past Exams appears to be unaffected

*Firefox*

Allows login but blocks display of PDFs

Workaround: Grey shield can be used to enable content view

*Chrome*

Your connection is not private

Attackers might be trying to steal your information from masterfile.jcu.edu.au (for example, passwords, messages or credit cards).

This server could not prove that it is masterfile.jcu.edu.au; its security certificate is from mfileprod.infra.jcu.edu.au. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

Proceed to masterfile.jcu.edu.au (unsafe)

Workaround: click on “Proceed to masterfile.jcu.edu.au (unsafe)”

*IE*

There is a problem with this website's security certificate.

The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.
