Security and TLS

TLS and certificate warnings

Learn what certificate hostname, chain and protocol warnings mean and how to investigate them safely.

WebCheck performs strict TLS validation. It does not disable certificate verification just to make a target appear healthy.

Hostname mismatch

The certificate does not cover the hostname WebCheck monitored. Check the certificate SANs and the hostname configured at the TLS terminator.

Invalid chain

The server may not be sending the complete certificate chain, or the issuing authority may not be trusted. Install the correct intermediate certificates and verify the deployment.

Protocol errors

A TLS protocol error can indicate incompatible versions or ciphers, a misconfigured proxy or a failing secure endpoint. Review the TLS configuration without weakening verification.
