a bit OT. On a site we own, we have a certificate (this site is basically a reverse proxy for our email.) If I access the site in Chrome, it comes up invalid, even though the certification path shows as valid. What I get is:

NET::ERR_CERTIFICATE_TRANSPARENCY_REQUIRED.

Mind you, I don't get that error from Firefox. Nor does the SSL Checker at sslshopper.com see any errors with the cert.. But Chrome and Edge (and iPads, apparently) do complain. And from what I've read, the only solution is to replace the cert from a different provider, one who maintains "transparency logs".

Can anybody shed any light? Is there nothing I can do to fix this? (besides renewing the cert from a different provider, I mean)

(This cert was issued by Entrust Certification Authority - L1K)

As I understand it, this is a newer Chromium browser issue. I believe you can disable the check in the browser, or better still get your cert re-issued and registered for Certificate Transparency

Well, the cert is due to expire in 4 months or so (December), and we do use a different cert issuer these days. So hopefully the problem will go away then. 
How can you tell if an issuer is enrolling your cert in the Certificate Transparency logs? Besides getting an error like I am getting, that is. LOL

That says my cert is actually in a CT log. LOL ...
