You are not talking of www.bc.edu, do you?Kaiok, ok. https://bioinformatics.bc.edu TonyI could be full of cheese here, but did VeriSign send you an "intermediate" certificate along with your "real" certificate? If not, forget theWhen I went to the site and examined the cert I noticed that the cert was not signed by one of the CAs in the ca-bundle.crt provided by my copy of openSSL (openssl-0.9.8b-8.3.el5_0.2) on CentOS 5.1. You can examine the "Issuer" field of the certificate to see who signed it.I suspect that VeriSign sent you an "intermediate" certificate that was actually used to sign your cert. Apache has to present the intermediate cert at the same time it presents your "real" cert. Basically, since the intermediate cert was signed by a recognized CA cert and your cert was signed by the intermediate cert, then your cert is "trustworthy".The easiest way to fix this is to append the intermediate certificate to your "real" certificate file. I've had a few of these in the past, particularly from smaller CAs that resell other folks's service.Just a thought!I'm away from the office now, but I only got one certificate. I didn't deal directly with Verisign, but rather went through someone in my IT department. I will check on that. Thanks.Kai, in response to your last message, you say it's fine. Does that mean you don't get a dialog saying the site is not verifiable? Because I sure do, with several browsers on different platforms.Tony
It went OK at work for me, but at home on my laptop it is untrusted. So maybe verisign needs to verify it for you. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
