Hello all.

I have installed a Verisign 128-bits
server-certificate into a Java keystore to be used by
Orion 1.5.2. 
I encounter no problem at all in generating keys,
generating a csr or importing the certificate from
Verisign and Orion runs fine. (I did use the
ssl-guide)

BUT.....
connecting to the secure site with OTHER browser than
IE 5.5 or IE (5.0) with 128-bits encryption pack
fails!! (netscape not tested)

For example. IE 5.0 (not with 128-bits) says "the page
can not be displayed" with IE 4.0 I get a message box
stating "An error occured in the secure chanel
support".

The browser should not be the problem. Verisign states
IE 4.0 or later will work. It does really work to
connect with IE 4.0+ to other sites with 128-bits
servercertificates. 

Connecting with openssl or other tool for getting the
servercertificate shows that orion sends the installed
certifikate information and all seems to be ok.

If I put the flag -Djavax.net.debug=all and run orion
all seem ok until I try to connect to my secure site
with an older browser (IE 5.0). I see in the end of
the information printed out a "handshake_fail" and all
stops with the browser showing information above.

Any have seen this behaviour before and anyone have a
idea how to resolve this? 40-bits certificates
(selfmade or for test) works just fine.
I appreciate all information.

Thanks in advance.
Tomas
