Could not start the browser integration

We’re suddenly seeing issues with browser integration for the Shotgrid app with this error,
OpenSSL.SSL.Error: [(‘x509 certificate routines’, ‘’, ‘key values mismatch’)].

This is on Windows.

We’ve tried deleting the Shotgun folder where the keys reside as well as reinstalled the Shotgrid app with no luck.

Does anybody have any ideas?

We are getting the same:

Send help, please. D:

The error appears in the console right after opening ShotGrid/FPT Desktop

It was solved after sending a ticket to ShotGrid support.
The certificate of our ShotGrid website was expired.
