All, the bad cert warning is because CACert is not included as a trusted certification authority by default in IE or Firefox certificate settings. So yes, that warning will probably pop up for most people landing on a site which uses their certs. Note that one of their primary goals is "inclusion into mainstream browsers." No word of when they expect to hit that goal.
Regarding the little lock in the corner...I think 90% of web surfers have no idea about the difference between SSL and not SSL. But I use SSL too on my sites that do credit card transactions, just for the 10% of the users who do notice that little lock. -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Munson, Jacob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 1:54 PM Subject: RE: Authorize.net request > Bryan, when I click join at CACert, I get a possible bogus certificate > warning from Firefox.
