ServerXMLHttp SSL woes

I have ann application written using VB6 which uese msxml 4's
ServerXMLHttp control to exchange XML with an application server. The
architecture is multi tiered in the sense that a first server receives
the request and acts as a load balancer by redirecting the request to
a second server which handles the actual request. The URL to the first
server is http which the redirect is SSL.
Initially I was getting the following error :

-2147012851 - The certificate authority is invalid or incorrect

I then installed the security certificate onto the client machine and
that seemed to solve that isseu but another error started coming up:

-2147024891 - Access is denied.

I found a posting on the web suggesting to enable a security option
related to submitting non encrypted forms but that didn't help.

Has anone ever run into this situation ? Any clues ?

Best Regards

Maybe one of the setOption flags would help, alternatively try an upgrade to
version 6.0.
There is also this, which is in theory for version 3.0:

If all that fails you can normally get better results using WinHTTP instead:

Thanks for the reply

I had seen those two posts but unfortunately they don't help. I wanted
to see if I could fix this problem without opening up the code.
