Aha, the classic 'trusted CA' trick! Bet the developers forgot to renew the certificate or installed the wrong root CA. Time to get the IT team on speed dial!

Maybe the certificate expired?

I bet the developers are using the same certificate for both the website and the applications, but the applications are on a different server. Gotta love that cross-platform compatibility!

Maybe the developers accidentally signed the applications with the wrong certificate. It's like trying to open a locked door with the wrong key - just ain't gonna work, my friend.

Ahh, the old 'signing process keeps failing' conundrum. I'm guessing the private key is either corrupted or not properly synced across the applications. Better call the IT helpdesk, they love this kind of thing!

Maybe the private key got corrupted during the signing process.

Could it be that the applications are not configured to trust the CA?

Hmm, sounds like a classic case of a certificate mismatch. I bet the developers forgot to configure the correct certificate on the applications. Time to double-check those settings!
