Security issues with InfoSoup - expired or not yet valid certificate

|
After the last post about security issues with InfoSoup - two remaining problems, another problem has been reported. Luckily, this one is pretty easy to fix.  The alert message reads as follows:

Information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed or changed by others.  However, there is a problem with the site's certificate.  The security certificate is from a trusted certifying authority.  The security has expired or is not yet valid.  The security certificate has a valid name matching the name of the page you are trying to view.  Do you want to proceed? There are three options: Yes, No or View Certificate.
The important phrase in the warning?  The security has expired or is not yet valid.  This indicates that there is a problem with the computer's date.  To fix the problem, simply change the computer's date to today's date.  This is more complicated on catalog PCs, so if you need assistance please contact Julie (OWLS libraries) or Wheelee (NFLS libraries.)
