Hello,

workbench.developerforce.com SSL Certificate is expired (14-Aug-2017):  it will take some time to get things back online.

Please note that Workbench is NOT a supported product of or supported by Salesforce

A diligent176's solution here : https://github.com/ryanbrainard/forceworkbench/issues/710

@diligent176 gives a super easy solution. If you absolutely must have access to workbench right now, this is your solution and it is only about 5 minutes away:

It was pretty much these steps:
  1. Go to Heroku and sign up
  2. Click the button "Deploy to Heroku" from the Github page: https://github.com/ryanbrainard/forceworkbench
  3. A few clicks later it was running on Heroku.
  4. The oAuth doesn't work quite a smoothly as I'm used to, but I got logged in and ran my queries.

Workbench is back online. Sorry for the outage and the long delay getting it back online. It required a few people behind the scenes and took some time to get things coordinated. As has been mentioned a few times on this thread, Workbench is not a supported tool (see https://workbench.developerforce.com/terms.php for it's status), so unfortunately there is no SLA when issues like this occur.
Thank you to everyone to offered their gratitude for the service."
