Sorry, my pictures got stripped from the message so... msg1.jpg basically says "The web site's certificate cannot be verified. Do you want to continue?" "Name: webui.ashland.edu" "Publisher: webui.ashland.edu" and has a link for more information...
msg2.jpg says "The certificate was issued by a source that is not trusted." and has a link for Certificate Details... msg3a-c show the certificate chain, including webui.ashland.edu, ipsCA CLASEA1, and IPS SERVIDORES. -- Don Prezioso Director of Administrative I.T.

When I click on 'More Information...', I get the message in msg2.jpg When I click on 'Certificate Details...' I get what you see in msg3a-c.jpg Now this is the really strange thing. It appears to be a perfectly valid certificate with a valid CA. When connecting to webadvisor.ashland.edu, I see almost identical certificate details (the signature and CN are appropriately different). These are the same messages I have been getting all along. The only thing that I can think is different between the two instances is that the webui instance is behind the firewall and cannot be seen from off campus. I didn't think that was an issue with validating certificates, is it? Thanks again Don -- Don Prezioso Director of Administrative I.T.

(Just different common names) I can't connect to your external site [webadvisor] via Firefox 3.5 or Chrome 4.0 due to the fact that your CA's OCSP responder is down.[ Error Code: 403 Forbidden. The server denied the specified Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Contact the server administrator. (12202) ]. I have to disable OCSP in Firefox 3.5 to continue, but I do get a valid connection. Has the error message changed at all since we've been working? Or are you still getting a response that relates to "Unknown Issuer"?
