Thanks Amy. I'll join that list. Would have been a more appropriate
place for this post.

Hi, John. I sure did. Looks like the email is legit. Lots of talk about it on
the ezproxy listserv today, here's the archive:

In short from those who have installed the new cert, there are no problems with
IE but Firefox, Safari and Chrome are experiencing certificate warnings. HTH

Subject: [CODE4LIB] ipsCA Certs
Out of curiosity, did anyone else using ipsCA certs receive notification
that due to the coming expiration of their root CA (December 29,2009),
they would need a reissued cert under a new root CA?
I am uncertain as to how this new Root CA will become a part of the
browsers trusted roots without some type of user action including a
software upgrade, but the following library website instructions lead me
to believe that this is not going to be smooth. http://bit.ly/53Npel
We are just about to go live with EZProxy in January with an ipsCA cert
issued a few months ago, and I am not about to do that if I have serious
browser support issue.
