Comments on the following newsitem


This was discussed in another thread, and it just occurred to me I should post a news item with more explicit instructions.<br />
<br />
The issue is that the BOINC client comes bundled with SSL certificates and these expired earlier today. Here are the basic steps to fix the problem. (Note: this works on linux and I see no reason why it shouldn't work on Windows too.)<br />
1. Download the new "ca-bundle.crt" file from here:<br />

2. Replace the old ca-bundle.crt file with the new one (it should be in your BOINC root directory).

A patched version of the BOINC Win 64 Client has been moved to "Recommended" status which fixes the Issue.
The issue affected NumberFields and LHC and Rossetta.

Version 7.16.7
