Hi Nelson,

FYI, I tried importing the cert into PSM 1.4, and I am seeing the same
behavior that I saw when I used PSM 1.1 at the office.

This *seems* to indicate that there might be something wrong with the cert?

Also FYI, just as an FYI, I downloaded the cert onto my hard drive, and then
in Windows, clicked on it.  I got a popup saying something like "Invalid
Security Object".

Does anyone know specifically what could be wrong with this certificate that
would cause it to behave this way in PSM and in Windows?

Jim
