We have perennial problems with Entrust certificates on the Mac. Make sure
you have the entrust chain certificate installed and the MSIE browser
match. Here is the relevant ssl config from a <virtualhost>:

  SSLEngine on
  SSLCertificateFile /esn/www/conf/ssl.crt/www2002.crt
  SSLCertificateKeyFile /esn/www/conf/ssl.key/www2002.key
#  SSLCACertificatePath /esn/www/conf/ssl.crt/
  SSLCertificateChainFile /esn/www/conf/ssl.crt/entrust.crt
  SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

You'll notice that Mac IE is not listed at all at Entrust's supported
browsers page: http://www.entrust.net/tech/browsers/index.htm :(

Hope this helps.

David
