Hi, I know this question has been asked here a couple of times. However, a lot of solution that provided always involves the network administrator to set up the server or issuing a newer certificate to fix this problem from the server-side. And that is not the solution I'm looking for.
I'm here because I'm the guest who tried to connect the enterprise network which used a captive portal for registration and I'm failed to that. Maybe you're wondering why I'm not asking the network admin to solve my problem, it's because I'm able to solve it once and this is my second encounter with the problem but I can't fix it with the same trick I used before. So here the story.
The first time I experienced this problem was accidental. I left my laptop and it disconnects automatically from the network because it enters the sleep mode. No matter how many times I tried to connect again, the browser (Edge) I used always show a certificate error from DigiCert and the child. Not from Aruba.
So, I tried to Google a couple of solutions. I tried the extreme one, which is to delete all the certificate related to the problem one. Then, I delete all the Digicert certificate and others which related to it or under it. Then, I change the default browser from Edge to Mozilla and it show this problem about Aruba network certificate error.
I Google other solution again and it suggests me to deactivate web/SSL monitoring from antivirus I used (McAffee). Somehow, I can't find it. Thus, I uninstalled the antivirus and I think it is okay though because the antivirus is still on trial. Still, nothing happened.
At this point the Digicert certificate that I deleted before already installed again on my laptop because I'm doing a workaround to connect. I used the tethering method from my phone.
Then I found another suggestion on google to delete the cert8.db file inside Mozilla. Because I used a newer version, the file that I delete is cert9.db. After I deleted that file, I'm able to connect to the network again just like nothing happened. Thus, the first time I encounter the problem is fixed.
Then, because of my stupidity. I decide to install another Antivirus provider and I choose Avast. In the middle of the installation process, which I believed the Avast is on the download progress to update the virus database, the wifi network suddenly disconnected. I'm panic.
I tried the method from before, uninstalled the anti-virus program, delete the certificate, and delete the cert9.db on Mozilla. But, it didn't help. At this point, I can't connect to the Wifi network anymore and the Securelogin.arubanetwork.com Certificate Error still there.
What I can do now is a workaround. I connect my phone to the wifi network and use the USB tethering method so my laptop can connect to the internet. I believed that there is a solution for the client-side without asking the network administrator to handle this.
Thank you before.
