When Chrome does not show the coninue option, it usually has an additional error message where the button would be that shows more details. For example, this is an HSTS error: http://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-47-13-metablogapi/8446.chrome37_5F00_404325B2.png
Microsoft lists several reasons that the continue button would not be shown in IE. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2014/02/02/10481591.aspx The error page’s *Continue* link is hidden: 1. If the certificate is revoked 2. If the certificate is deemed insecure <http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2012/06/13/windows-internet-explorer-block-rsa-key-shorter-than-1024-bits.aspx> (e.g. contains a 512-bit RSA key) 3. If the page is in a “pinned site” instance <http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2011/03/11/internet-explorer-9-security-part-3-browse-more-securely-with-pinned-sites.aspx> 4. If group policy is set to Prevent Ignoring Certificate Errors The article is old, but I believe these are still correct. Could one of those be your issue? - Y On Fri, Jun 26, 2015 at 1:06 PM, Cohen, Laurence <lco...@novetta.com> wrote: > Thanks for the response Yehuda. Unfortunately Chrome doesn't give me this > error.
