(btw X509 was there, just had to hit the "show keychains" button at bottom of window, must be blind) I've tried to access the adsense part of google from different directions (off a google search results page, bookmark, ect) thinking the url was the prob, no luck. but that has nothing to do with the cert being accepted. Ran first aid and it showed an error with my keychain lock settings so changed the settings to get a clean pass, and did. This is not a step to be taken lightly, and if you do not understand the implications you should NOT do it.
Apple mac update site certificates install#
The solution for this problem, IF YOU KNOW THE SITE IS TRUSTWORTHY, is to install their root certificate on your system. Since the root authority is not a standard one, Safari will not have a way to verify that the certificate is valid. The other occasion you are likely to see an error of this nature is when the site uses a self signed certificate with their own certificate authority. I have run into similar types of problem a number of times, though usually the issue is an expired certificate because the web site owner forgot to renew the certificate on time.

Given the nature of this site, I am inclined to believe it is a bad certificate in this case. Of course, this could also indicate that someone has hacked the DNS system, and you are not actually connecting to the Google server. Basically, the certificate on this server is bad, and you will get the error message until such time as Google actually fixes the bad certificate.

This isn't a Safari problem or a problem on your Mac.
