NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
The certificate was not issued by an authority the browser trusts — commonly a self-signed certificate, or a missing intermediate.
What causes it
- A self-signed certificate on a public site.
- A missing intermediate certificate, which works in some browsers and fails in others.
- Corporate TLS inspection installing its own root.
- An origin certificate from a CDN being served directly.
If you are the visitor
- If it is your own internal server, this may be expected — but never click through on a site handling passwords or payments.
- Check whether other devices see the same error; if only yours does, suspect local antivirus or a corporate proxy.
If it is your website
- Install a certificate from a public authority such as Let's Encrypt.
- Serve the full chain file, not just the certificate.
