Hi,

following the discussion that happened one year ago:

The website boinc.berkeley.edu still uses SHA1 domain certificate.
Certificates with SHA1 signatures are not considered secure since January 2016 and will be marked as untrusted in Chrome/Firefox/Opera starting January 2017, see this Mozilla Blogpost for details.

The TLS configuration is also obsolete and needs some tuning, especially removing support for old and insecure cipher suites is necessary.

Please make sure the web uses SHA2 domain certificate before end of this year, otherwise users won't be able to access your site.
Note you can get free trusted domain certificates from Let's Encrypt CA.

Thanks
