Check the time the PC is set to and the times of the server and CA certificatess
with:

openssl x509 -in cert.pem -noout -dates

If these all seem OK then it may be a validity nesting issue. The CA
certificates times should cover the period of any certificates it issues with
MS validity checking. That is notBefore(CA) must be earlier than
notBefore(server) and notAfter(CA) must be after notAfter(server).

It's annoying in that it pops up every few minutes.

problem with outlook express

2003-03-11 Thread Soo Hom
Hello,

I am using an openssl certificate to authenticate imap.  Outlook express
keeps complaining about the certificate.  Is there a way to make outlook
express save the certificate and stop generating the warning?

This is on a windows 2000  machine.
