Hello,

there exists a self signed root CA certificate (A)
one intermediate CA certificate (B)
and this intermedia certificate has signed a SSL certificate (C) of a web server;

the SSL certificate has in its 'Authority Information Access' extension the URL to the intermediate CA certificate, and the intermediate CA certificate has in this extension the URL to the root CA certificate;
every certificate is stored in DER format;

in case the certificate database of the browser has only the root CA certificate and I surf to this webserver which itself sends the whole certificate chain; why does this work without errors only in IE, and not in FireFox?

if the root CA certificate is a built-in token; then this works in Firefox, too;

why this strange behaviour?

Thanks,
Walter
