Our certificates are 2048 bits and we are still experiencing this problem. Once 
I solve my other CCA TAC case and get a machine I can test from, I will open a 
new case for this issue.

Just a note on this we have a few mac users affected. I just updated Safari to 
5.1.7, removed my trust for the NAC cert and the agent started working again. 
We haven't tested for other users yet so I'm not positive this was the fix.
