I have a very modern, current SSL from godaddy that I have been trying to apply to Monitor, and I keep getting the error message "ca md too weak".  Never had issues applying the very same certificate to the old version of Monitor.  Anyone experiencing anything similar?

It seems that the "ca md too weak" error is likely due to the certificate being signed with an MD5 hash, which may not be supported in the newer version of Monitor.

To resolve this, you might consider updating or reissuing the SSL certificate using a more secure hash algorithm, such as SHA-256. Additionally, checking the compatibility of the SSL certificate with the specific version of Monitor you are using is advisable. 

I hope its clear now.

The "ca md too weak" error typically indicates that the SSL certificate's signature algorithm is considered too weak by the system or application you are trying to configure it with. This can happen when security policies or cryptographic standards are updated to no longer accept older, you can renew your SSL certificate. for your reference https://certera.com/kb/reissue-an-ssl-tls-certificate-on-certera/ this will work 🙂
