Nathan, Thanks for the tip off - we found the same problem but felt we had to find a fix rather than shut it down at short notice. We fixed the problem by installing a new CA cert from AG3.1 (whose CA cert expires in 2012). I copied 45cc9e80.0 and 45cc9e80.signing_policy from /etc/AccessGrid3/Config/CAcerts of a newly installed 3.1 system into /etc/AccessGrid/Config/CAcerts/ of the AG2 server. I also had to copy them into ~/.AccessGrid/Config/ trustedCACerts directory of the user which the server runs as. I then ran certmgr.py to remove the old CA cert. chris > From: ag-tech...@googlegroups.com [mailto:AG-Tech- > n...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Nathan Gardiner > Sent: Friday, 1 February 2008 3:08 p.m. > To: ag-tech...@googlegroups.com > Subject: [AGNZ-Tech] Access Grid 2.4 Venue Server > > Hi all, > > Some of you may have noticed today that the 2.4 Venue Server is not > allowing you to log into it.
