Verisign CA cert problem

2004-05-19 Thread Bill MacAllister
Hello,
I am having problems with a brand new Verisign 128 bit certificate that has 
just be purchased.  I have installed the certificate and the intermediate 
CA cert on an Apache 1.3.31/mod_ssl 2.8.17/openssl 0.9.7d instance.

What I am seeing is the Netscape and Mozilla connect to the site just fine. 
When I connect to the site with IE 6 the security window pops up telling be 
that the certificate has either expired or is not valid yet.  When I look 
at the certificate the intermediate CA cert that IE is using is the expired 
cert that was installed with IE.  I tried removing the old intermediate CA 
cert from IE altogether and it still will not load the intermediate CA cert 
from my server.

I am not really sure what to try at this point.   Oh, yes, Verisign support 
has been pretty much useless.

Help suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Bill

Did you get a new intermediate cert (intermediate.crt) from Verisign
also?  This also goes in the apache config. directions somewhere on
verisigns site.
Yes.  The only certificate that has ever been on my servers is the new CA 
cert.

Actually there are multiple references on the Versign site:
http://www.verisign.com/support/install/apache/v00Mod.html#global
http://www.verisign.com/support/site/caReplacement.html
Of course, while both describe the same issue they suggest slightly 
different Apache directives.  Respectively the two suggestions are:

 SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/crt/public.crt
 SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/crt/private.key
 SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/crt/intermediate.crt
and
 SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/crt/intermediate.crt
I have tried both and neither method works for IE.

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
