How to Download and Install the equinux Root Certificate Fix

To fix missing root certificates on older OS X and iOS versions, download the configuration profile from equinux.github.io using Safari, open the downloaded file, then go to System Preferences (Mac) or Settings (iOS), select the profile, and choose Install. This applies to older Mac and iOS devices that lack current security certificates and therefore fail to load many websites and services. equinux offers the profile as a convenience and states it does not provide support for this issue.

What the fix is and when to use it

Older OS X and iOS versions ship without the latest security certificates. As a result, many websites and services won't load correctly. equinux built a configuration profile for Mac and iOS devices to address this.

Use the fix if:

• You are running an older OS X or iOS version.
• Websites or services fail to load because of certificate errors.

Step-by-step installation

On Mac

1. Open Safari and download the profile from equinux.github.io.
2. Open the downloaded file to add it to your system.
3. Go to the profile in System Preferences and choose Install.

On iOS

1. Open Safari and download the profile.
2. Open the downloaded file to add it to your system.
3. Go to the profile in iOS Settings and choose Install.

Expected result: the profile is added to your device and installed, restoring the missing certificates so affected sites and services load correctly.

Common sticking points

Key limitations

• The profile targets older OS X and iOS versions; it is a convenience fix, not a supported product.
• No pricing or account requirements are stated on the page; the download is presented directly.
