Topic: SSL validation fails, but OFX validation passes?

What does it mean when the SSL validation is failing, yet the OFX validation is passing?  See Fidelity Investments validation history recently for an example:

Re: SSL validation fails, but OFX validation passes?

In order to be sure you'd have to tell us what application is producing these messages.
SSL validation is about your application being able to verify the connection encryption certificate of the ofx server. Hypothetically a failed SSL validation may mean someone is intercepting your connection and reading/modifying it (including obtaining your password); but this is unlikely.
It is harder to guess what "OFX validation" means, but I would guess it means your password was correct.

Re: SSL validation fails, but OFX validation passes?

What specific application are you using to encounter these SSL and OFX validation messages, as the interpretation of these errors may vary depending on the software in use?
