Guides

Fixes for common certificate problems – with commands and the matching tool.

Android 13 certificate error: GlobalSign R46 and the cross-certificate fixEverything is green on the desktop, but on older Android devices apps and web views fail with a certificate error. Almost always the cause is a root CA that Android only knows from version 14 on. “key values mismatch”: when certificate and key do not belong togetherAfter installing a new certificate the web server refuses to start. The message sounds cryptic, but the cause is almost always one of four things. Convert PFX to PEM (and back)Windows wants PFX, nginx wants PEM, Java wants PKCS#12. Here is how to switch between the formats and which pitfalls OpenSSL 3 brought. “unable to get local issuer certificate”: find and fix the missing intermediateThe page loads fine in the browser, but curl, a script or a Java application refuses the connection. In most cases the server is missing an intermediate certificate. Enable HTTP/3 in nginx: step by stepHTTP/3 runs over QUIC and UDP instead of TCP. In nginx it takes only a few lines; most problems come from the firewall or a missing Alt-Svc header. Setting security headers correctly in nginx and ApacheA few lines in the server configuration protect against clickjacking, MIME sniffing and many consequences of XSS. The key is to set them so they really arrive with every response. Setting up reverse DNS for your own mail server“550 5.7.25 … does not have a PTR record”: anyone running their own mail server trips over reverse DNS sooner or later. Setting it up takes five minutes once you know where. LDAP filters: 20 examples for Active DirectoryMost LDAP queries against Active Directory follow a handful of patterns. Here are the 20 most common, each with a short explanation and one click to adapt it in the filter builder. “PKIX path building failed”: how to fix the Java errorThe error means Java could not build a chain from the server certificate to a root CA it trusts. The cause lies either on the server or in your Java application’s truststore. Convert JKS to PKCS#12 – and backSince Java 9, PKCS#12 is the default keystore format, and keytool urges you to migrate every time it touches a JKS file. The conversion is one command; the pitfalls are passwords and old versions. Import a certificate into the Java truststore (cacerts)When a Java application talks to a server whose CA it does not know, you get “PKIX path building failed”. The fix is to add the CA to the truststore. There is a quick way and a lasting one. Tomcat and Spring Boot with Let's EncryptIt used to be: convert PEM to a keystore and repeat after every renewal. Current Tomcat and Spring Boot versions read the Let's Encrypt files directly, and Spring Boot even reloads them itself.

Your browser processes files, keys and tokens itself; no third-party services are loaded. Only checks that need the internet (SSL check, DNS, CT search, security headers) run via this server – and each page says so.

No upload

Keys, certificates and diagrams never leave your device.

No account

No sign-up, no login, no email address required.

No tracking

No cookies, no third-party analytics, no ads. Just an anonymous page view count on this server.

Works offline

Converter, generators and calculators: download the file, open it locally – done. Online checks need the server.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Private, non-commercial use costs nothing – no trial period and no hidden features.

Where is my data stored?

Only in your browser. Infra Stack keeps diagrams in the browser's local storage and in export files you save yourself. The Certificate Converter stores nothing permanently. The tcpdump Filter Generator only keeps your filter in the link you choose to share. The Subnet Calculator and the SPF, DMARC and DKIM generators also work locally only. Only for the domain check and for fetching missing CA certificates does hollop.net look up public DNS records or CA certificates, without storing anything.

Do I need an internet connection?

No. All libraries are served from this site, nothing is loaded from third parties. You can also save the pages and use them offline.

Can I use the tools at work?

Commercial use requires an arrangement. Feel free to get in touch – a business licence is planned.

Which browsers are supported?

Current versions of Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox on desktop and tablet.
