Spaces: connection not secure when accessing public object via HTTPS

  • Posted on February 10, 2022

In Spaces, when accessing a public object (e.g. PDF file) externally via HTTPS, there seems to be an issue with the certificate… Chrome displays the following message -

Your connection is not private Attackers might be trying to steal your information from craton.capital.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

I tried on several computers in different geographic location - same result. Is there a way to fix this?

I think I figured it out… don’t use a dot in the space name. Without a dot seems to be fine.
