Dear mod-ssl users,

I had trouble with verisigns digital ID's. I thought I'll write down the
solution, to give a clue to others, who will fall into the same situation.

We have bought a Secure Server ID from Verisign, it costs $895. They sent
us the cert, so i installed it immediately. It did not worked at 128bit
encription, and all the browsers were complaining about, that "The
certificate Chain is incomplete." so I was browsing to www.modssl.org, and
bombed suport at Verisign, with lots of emails.

I only had success at the modssl homepage, where i found the answer:
there needs to be an Intermediate CA installed, to make browsers possible,
to correctly recognize the signature, that the server provides.

The intermediate ca, that can be found at verisign's webpage was not
working for Us.
http://www.verisign.com/cus/srv/install/intermediate/v00g.html

Asking Verisign for one, was a failure, they were talkin about how to
install an IIS certificate in their answer :-)

So finally, we could export an intermediate CA from another site's
signature, that was using the same verisign class 3 certificate.

This copy is working now. I hope this is the right one, and it's the same
for all the class 3 id. However I won't paste it here.

The browsers are not complaining, that the certificate chain is
incomplete.

I hope i did not bother You,

Best Regards,

--Rp.
