Introduction

GlobalSign had an issue where its SSL certificates were causing errors when Safari loaded SSL (https) websites.

If you ever get an issue where HTTPS sites start to not load in Safari, the issue can be caused by either an error by the certificate provider or external software such as Trusteer (often offered by banks as an 'extra layer of protection').

In such an event, it may be worth trying to reset your CRL and OCSP cache which will force your Mac to rebuild and re-obtain information from certificate authorities, which should fix HTTPS site loading issues in the majority of cases.
