Is this because of the SHA-1 encryption in certificates?:

I thought Google announced this initially way back in 2014?

There's been plenty of time/notice for Proquest to upgrade their certificate!

We should all send in a support case. Currently over 50% of our traffic is via the Google Chrome user agent.

Kind regards,

Hello all,

Yesterday all our MyIlibrary ebooks started displaying a security error message when accessed on Chrome.

“Your connection is not private. Attackers might be trying to steal your information from shib.ingramdigital.com (for example, passwords, messages or credit cards), NET:ERR_CERT_WEAK_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHIM”

According to Proquest, this is due to some authentication changes Google made recently that means if a site doesn’t have certain certificates, it throws up this warning. You can get round it by clicking Advanced and continue but obviously this is less than ideal as a lot of readers get stuck at the slightly scary looking warning page.

Proquest say they will not be making any further changes to their certificates as they are upgrading to a new platform (Ebook Central). However this leaves a large portion of our ebooks not working correctly on one of the most popular browsers. We also use this browser to order, quality check and other ebook related tasks.

Having had bad experiences when Proquest migrated the EBL and Ebrary books to the Ebook Central platform, we are not eager to rush them to make this step. Neither are we particularly pleased at having all the ebooks we bought through them, not work on one browser.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, have you found any solutions or received any compensation?

Many thanks,

Hannah
