Thanks for the pointer.

I had put the directory of the ssl.crt (crt store) in the
SSLCACertificatePath originally. Then, I also put the actual common Root CA
crt file name in the SSLCACertificateFile (when Oliver Bode suggested it). I
also looked at the handshake process as suggested by Dr Henson with s_client
and found in the accepted CA list, the DN of this common Root CA (by common,
I mean this root CA has signed both the server and the client certificates).
(I had also installed a Digital ID from UltraSecure and I still get a blank
box when I access THE UltraSecure server !) So, this doesnt seem to be a
problem.

I think we have a case of a broken IE5.5 here (two machines, same IE). (Sad
that I have spent about a week on this.) I have another machine with IE5.01
here, but that is export controlled and also useless for this purpose.

I am trying to figure out how to install a fresh 5.5 over this 5.5 (As
anyone on the MS IE5.5 mailing list knows, uninstall is very buggy and risky
!)

Thanks, everyone for pitching in on this one.

Regards,

Sandipan
