there is a problem, no doubt about it, but the strange thing is that if use
your test on minotaur (people), then it works. I am not a certificate
specialist (medthomas is the real specialist), but to me it looks as cached
certificates (or root path).

on ooo-wiki2, I am convinced it is a caching problem, where the wrong
certificate is stored.

Once medthomas comes back after vacation I will have a talk with him.
