We have a vendor that changed their certificate over the weekend and now
have mixed issues with our staff accessing the site.  Connecting to the
site with a Windows 2000 machine or a browser other than IE (in XP or
other) will cause a message come up asking if you want to trust the
certificate.  On XP, there is no such prompting, but it works for some
people and not for others.  It looks like the certificate is
automatically being trusted or declined for XP staff, but we can't
figure out why it works for some, but not others.  From what we can see,
it is user-specific--it works for one user on a computer, but not
another.  The local permissions don't seem to be an issue (we made one
of the users an administrator temporarily with no joy).

If you connect to the site in Firefox, it explicitly states that it is
unable to verify the certificate.  I have attempted exporting the
certificate from a working connection and importing it as a trusted site
for a non-working user with no success (I will admit that I just barely
know what I am doing in that regard).

Googling hasn't turned up anything to this point that was helpful.  Does
anyone have any idea what might cause that behavior and what might be
done to correct it?
