Dear Sirs, I am now facing two issues (non technical) and I would greatly appreciate to hear an opinion from you. 1) Verisign's buying process is completely web based. In order to buy a Global Server ID one need to fill several web based forms. One of the first things that need to be specified is the web platform. Since Apache/ModSSL is not officially supported by Verisign, it is not listed in the web form. Do you know which platform should be specified in order to receive a Global Server ID that will work with Apache/ModSSL? 2) At present I set up a platform based on the following products: apache rel. 1.3.9 mod_ssl rel. 2.4.6-1.3.9 openssl rel. 0.9.4 This platform is working just fine with 40 bit certs. A couple of days ago I tried to verify a Global Server ID issued for a Micrsoft IIS platform (I used the "openssl verify" command) and I got the following error message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:: ->openssl verify /tmp/global.txt /tmp/global.txt: unable to load certificate file 22434:error:0D0A2007:asn1 encoding routines:d2i_X509_CINF:expecting an asn1 sequence:x_cinf.c:106:address=1107018 offset=0 22434:error:0D09F004:asn1 encoding routines:d2i_X509:nested asn1 error:x_x509.c:99:address=1107016 offset=2 22434:error:0906700D:PEM routines:PEM_ASN1_read_bio:ASN1 lib:pem_lib.c:239: This looks particularly bad to me because it has to do with the ASN syntax of the certificate. I believe there are only two possible explanations: 1) Global Server IDs issued for Microsoft IIS platform ARE NOT standard 2) OpenSSL rel. 0.9.4 does not support Global Server IDs (if this is true, then my apache based platform will not support them either....) What do you think? I would greatly appreciate an answr from you. If you can't answer to my questions, could you please at least address me to somebody else? Unfortunatly Verisign is not going to give me any help about unsupported platforms and my expertise is not enough to cope with such issues. Thank you very much in advance.
