Re: SBS 2003 R2 Certificate Warnings

Hi:

Well, you don't have XP, that we know. That only leaves 6 other possibilities, most of them outdated. Not sure it matters much, as before Vista you did not have to be an Admin to import the cert.

You should get this warning: (much more graphical)

<snip>
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.

The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.

Continue to this website (not recommended).

If you continue, you should get the RWW opening web page:

where the address bar is colored red or pink and split, so that if you move your cursor over the center part it will say Certificate Error:

Click that, then click view certificates - then import or save.

Apologies to the OP for hogging the post but I have a question.

Larry,

I dont have an XP machine and get the certificate error for my RWW but dont
see any where on IE where i "can click the cert in the address bar and import
it".

Am i missing something?

Hey Ed...

The end user can import the cert and the warning will go away. I usually
put the instructions for doing so on company web and then email the
distribution list to get the instructions from there. The steps necessary
vary by end user OS, and afaik must be done individually.

For XP you can click the cert in the address bar and import it.

For Vista you must do it one time as the local admin, and import it into the
correct store:
