Jeff,
Thanks for the info....As Clinton would say, "I feel your pain!"
Anyway, I don't know if we had the same problem or not. After further
investigation, I found that the certificate we were trying to use was a SGC
(server gated cryptograpy) certificate from Verisign (sometimes called their
Global ID). This cert has a couple of X509 extenstions that are marked as
'critical'.
These attributes, when presented to IE, would cause IE to do further checks
of the connection. In fact, our problem was that the server name in the
cert did not match the FQDN of our test machine. Thus, IE would take the
additional step of canceling the connection when the names didn't match
where Netscape would just prompt you to continue.
When we moved the server into the production environment, everything worked
fine.
Thanks again,
- Bob
