I have this problem viewing our site with IE5.5 Do all microsoft browsers reject wildcard certs ? Is there a patch for IE5 to get round this problem ?
Why don't Thawte tell you about this when you buy the certificate? Rhys. -----Original Message----- From: Julian C.

It works but why does it produce warning? No, it doesn't, because there are no wildcard expansion patterns accepted on the server end. Wildcard certs only work because the _browser_ accepts the wildcard in the CN. In any case the warning you are seeing is only a warning; it's not fatal. - Julian -- Julian C.
