Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server
I realize there is another question with the same title, but my situation is very different.
The problem started on three of my computers after upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
I can login to gmail and facebook using https with no problem.
I can not login to https://identi.ca/main/login or https://seminars.wolfram.com/ or https://panopticlick.eff.org with Safari, works fine with Firefox.
Already tried "Safari Reset..."
Any ideas?

I had this problem as well. Adding new root authority certificates from Thawte fixed the problem. Apple has documentation on how to do this here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.h...en/mh2046.html
I added the root and server certificates that I downloaded from here

Thanks. Did you have to go through all the 8 directories and 14 subrectories double clicking on every .cer and .pem file? Did you add them to your login keychain or to the system keychain?

I have just solved this problem by following this procedure published by phurd99 in the Apple Support Forums:
- Open applications
- Utiliities
- Open Keychain
- Click Keychain Access and select Preferences.
- Click the "Reset My Default Keychain"
