Hello,
I have two questions about certificate compatibility...
1. Should certs made with OpenSSL 0.9.6 be compatible with OpenSSL
0.9.7? What about with 0.9.8?
I think my tests show that 0.9.6 is not upward compatible, but that
0.9.7 and 0.9.8 are interchangable, but I am not at all sure whether
I'm testing in a clean enough way.
2. Does anyone have details on compatibility of OpenSSL certs made
for https, and how well common browsers accept them?
I think that 0.9.6 works with Firefox 1, 1.5, Microsoft IE 5, 6,
but NOT with Firefox 2 nor IE 7.
However I'm not sure whether, maybe, all I have to do is tell my
components (Indy for Delphi) to use SSL v3 instead of v2. (Sadly my
components are limited to OpenSSL 0.9.6 at the moment, which is why
I'm trying to sort this out.) I haven't tried that yet. I was
hoping someone here could give me an authoritative answer.
Thanks in advance.
Ann
