I had no problem with the Godaddy certificate we use. Though as a newbie I recall that it did take me a while to figure out the distinguished name and its proper use in generating certificates. Browsers virtually all recognize the godaddy cert.
I also found that their customer service is surprizingly good for what I paid them. They helped me resolve any issues I had at any rate. Its free support, so you might give them a call. Have a great day!

The problem is that your certificate has been signed by a Certificate Authority which is not trusted by many browsers. Your HTTPS instance worked fine on my internet explorer 7, but did indeed fail on firefox. An examination of the certificate revealed that your certificate was issued by StarField Secure Certification Authority. Quite honestly, I had never heard of these guys. I always use thawte or verisign. --- Mailing Lists <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am having trouble with a certificate from > Godaddy.com.
