Error "Trust evaluate failure: [leaf TemporalValidity]" (macOS)

On macOS, the same problem can show up in the client log as Trust evaluate failure: [leaf TemporalValidity]. It means macOS rejected the server's certificate because, by the Mac's own clock, the certificate is outside its valid dates.

  • Check the Mac's date, time and time zone. In System Settings > General > Date & Time, turn on Set time and date automatically.
  • If the clock is correct, check whether a proxy, firewall or security product on the network is inspecting TLS traffic. If it presents its own certificate and that certificate has expired, you'll see the same error. Exclude your Web Portal address from inspection, or renew the inspection certificate.
