Author warning: Godaddy ssl cert not 99% compatible
Karim

2005-05-24, 7:47 pm



I used a Godaddy SSL cert and found out that Firefox prompts a warning that
the CA is not trusted. Godaddy LIES about the cert being compatible with
99% of the browsers and they don't mention anything about Firefox
incompatibility. I think this is the last time I will do business with
Godaddy. I already have enough with their straight-to-your-face everywhere
ads.

Tell FireFox to fix their broken program.

Well it /was/ gone 5pm by the time I read Allis' post, so I'd been at
work all day. Can't blame me for being a little slow on the realisation.

If that guy is making money from that setup, more power to him. Much better
than posting stupid messages here.

Firefox doesn't need to trust every CA out there.

Did you install the sf_issuing.crt into the server as well as the cert
for your domain? I use GoDaddy certs myself and have no such problems
in Firefox.

Must be something on your end. I personally have never had an issue
with Firefox and GoDaddy certs

It seems it might be an issue with the web server software that the mail
server uses. It's not IIS.

It might be. I am still looking into this. Meanwhile I was wondering if
certs that use intermediate CAs have disadvantages. Does the trust
handshake need to contact both the root and the intermediate sites, ie
taking a longer path and time?

There's your problem right there. It doesn't trust you.

nahh... The idea is that the intermediate CA certificates are chained
with a root CA that most browsers already have installed. There is no
external contact involved. Can you give me a little more detail about
what's happening? I can probably help you solve your problem.
