EMET 4.0

Hello All,

I have a real problem with EMET. Starting today, every time I open IE this statement pops up.

"EMET 4.0

EMET detected that the SSL

certificate for ".facebook.com" is not

trusted by the rule "FacebookCA"

associated with the domain

"www.facebook.com"

I have tried to find out what this is an can not get any help from Microsoft. I have never been on Facebook. What in the world is this and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks, BIG TEX in FTW.

Same problem. I used facebook though. This message keeps coming up when I'm online.

The message is about the new Configure Certificate Trust - the FacebookCA rule is set to expire on 12/30/2013.

If you open up EMET 4.0, click on TRUST ( CONFIGURE CERTIFICATE TRUST) --> Click on the Pinning Rules Tab --> Under Rule Expiration for FacebookCA  you can change the rule to expire next month or later and the message will go away.  You can set it to when the YahooCA rule will expire on 3/13/2014 if you like and you won't receive the message anymore. 

Not sure if the default template rules will be updated automatically or if they need to be manually updated. The Certificate stuff is all new to Emet 4.0 and I have yet to read up on all the configuration settings, etc.

You might not be on facebook but many websites incorporate facebook logins and like buttons on them, thus is why you see the EMET message since the default template rule for FacebookCA expired today.
