I have a verisign certificate installed on apache 2.0.49 with mod_ssl. The cerficate date is valid and the date on the server and the client are all correct. The certificate is still valid. When I surf to the page, internet explorer says the certificate is valid, but also warns that "the security certificate may be expired or is not yet valid". However, it is not expired and is valid. It's valid until 6/2005. Does anyone have any ideas why it is doing this?
 
Does mozilla work properly?

Can you give us the url to check?

 
Actually, no. It's not currently open to the outside. However, I did just figure out that the root ca is expired. Any ideas how to update it?
 
If you are using a windows client go to windows update and there will be a 'root certificate update' available to you.
 
It's fixed now. I had already done that, but was still getting the error. So, I had to install a new intermediate certificate on the server which I downloaded
from:


Then, I had to add the line:

SSLCACertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/intermediate.cer

to my httpd.conf file. I restarted the server, and everything works great now! Thanks for the help!!!
