Hmmm... Webadvisor serves up pretty much straight HTML, a little javascript, and much of the HTML is generated from another server, but what tomcat is serving up is mostly normal HTML.
WebUI however only serves up a single java applet. From that point on, the applet is talking to a completely different server and tomcat is out of the picture. Also, the graphic you sent looks almost identical to the message I am seeing. So... Would the java applet be using the certificate in addition to tomcat? Would I need to add the root certificate to a keystore that Java has somewhere? Thanks for all your help. Don -- Donald Prezioso Director of Administrative I.T.

Both OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) and their CRL are DOWN. (It's not a good sign). Earlier, you stated that "webui" is the problem child, but "webadvisor" was working fine cross browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE, etc), correct or is this incorrect? Are both serving up pretty much the same content? Based on your description of the error message, it almost sounds like a Java issue. Is it a Java dialog box that comes up? Does it look like this at all? https://knowledge.verisign.com/resources/sites/VERISIGN/content/staging/SOLUTION/9000/SO9007/en_US/0.1/EV%20error.bmp ipsCA does not exist in Java5 or 6 by default. It is in Browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari), but not Java or Opera. Attachments are pretty much stripped from this list. You'd either need to use imageshack.us or host elsewhere and provide the URL. --Sal On 08/26/2009 05:21 PM, Don Prezioso wrote: > Sorry, my pictures got stripped from the message so... > > msg1.jpg basically says "The web site's certificate cannot be verified.
