If you are unable to do so, you can also update the security certificate directly. Here are instructions on how to do so:
- Download Let'sEncrypt ISRGRootX1 certificate from letsencrypt.org - https://letsencrypt.org/certs/isrgrootx1.der. You should only get the certificate from letsencrypt.org. You'll have to do this on a device other than the one running Yosemite / El Capitan, since the updated certificate is on a site that is inaccessible to browsers that rely on the old certificate.
- Copy isrgrootx1.der to the Mac running the old version of Mac OS.
- Open the Keychain Access application. It is in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder.
- From the File menu choose Import Items.
- Navigate to the isrgrootx1.der file and select it. In the Destination Keychain pop-up menu, choose the System keychain, then click Open. Enter your administrator password if prompted.
- Select the System keychain in the Keychains section of the Keychain Access window.
- Find the ISRG Root X1 cert in the System keychain list and double-click on it.
- Click the disclosure triangle to expand the Trust section. Under When using this certificate select Always Trust. Close the window. You may need to enter your administrator password.
- Safari should immediately start working, although you may need to reload open pages. For other browsers, we recommend you restart your machine before attempting to access Reverb.
