No, the problem could be your browser. To correcly sign a request you need
Netscape 4.06+ ( suggested Netscape 4.79 ) which has a javascript function
that generates PKCS#7 signatures on the client. Also you'll need the RA
Operator's certificate to be correctly installed in Netscape and it has
to be correctly verified ( Security->Certificates->Yours->Verify ).

If you have not done it yet import the CA's certificate into your browser
(it is needed by Netscape to verify the RA operator's cert ).
