I just tried EvX with my self-certified SSL server. This same configuration works correctly under Mac OS 9 IE/Entourage 2001, with IE able to install the certificate authority and identity certificate for Entourage. The same can not be said for IEvX and EvX. Not only does EvX give me a series of unrecognized security certificate dialogs, and after the series of dialogs (4 or 5 of them), EvX crashes.
Yes, I realize that self-created CAs aren't as convenient as a full Verisign or Thawte certificate, especially since IE and Entourage now *always* ask for a certificate password, even though the password is blank. Perhaps I have something not configured correctly either in the CA or the identity certificate, but I've been using IE and Entourage connecting to the self-CA Linux server under Mac OS 9 and Classic with no problems at all for a couple of months. Terminal using OpenSSL don't have a problem connecting to the server, neither does Windows, either by accepting the identity certificate directly (which the Mac version doesn't allow), or by adding the CA certificate to the list of authorities (which causes the Mac versions of apps to require me to enter a "certificate password" from that point forward). However, there doesn't seem to be a way to get self-signed certificates into EvX, and that is a change from E2001. Neither Mac version is as convenient as Windows (or Linux/OpenSSL for that matter). -- Glenn L.
