Re: thawte Certificate Installation Problems

2002-04-11 Thread Paul Cartwright

Hello Colin,

 I just imported my certificates into The Bat ( 5 of them) with no
 problems. I am runnung win2000 though, not XP. I don't have one for
 the email account for this list, but I'll get one and try it.

 Paul

CG 1) Installed a Thawte e-mail certificate but it does not work. In
CG following the import into Bat the entire Edit Personal Certificates
CG functionality in Accounts, Preferences vanished completely!

CG 2) As a result of (1) I tried to uninstall and reinstall Bat but uninstall
CG would not work! I deleted all the files I could find and then reinstalled.
CG It was a messy install and whilst the Bat is now working I have no templates
CG for my mails.

CG I'm running Windows XP.

CG Any ideas folks?

CG Kind Regards
CG Colin

Hello Colin,
an aside note. I went back to Thawte to get a new certificate for this
email account, and I got most of the way through the process until it
got to the part about generating the key pair. It gave me an error ( I
forget the text 3 words) but basically I tried all the different types
of encoding and got the same error. I had to EXIT from the PGPKeys
tray program, THEN it worked.
for those that want to get their own free thawte certificate, here is
their home page:
https://www.thawte.com/contents.html

( look under personal certificates)


you basically sign up, and request a certificate, they send you the
signup info by email. I have certificates for each email ID I use.
Thawte also mentioned that they are discontinuing PGP support.

later,
Paul

CG I'm pretty new to this encryption/signing stuff so please excuse my
CG ignorance but what is the significance of Thwate not supporting PGP

The most significant difference is:

Thawte is supporting S/MIME
   vs.
PGP   _is_PGP

It's like milk and wine: both something to drink, but not the same :-)
