I am having the same issue with openssl. i tried new openssl releases versions a-g but they all seem to fail on netscape client for mac with self-signed certs. netscape 7.0 for mac was reported by my developers to be free of this ssl mismatch issue. does any one know of any server directives to fix this nescape issue? -fjp Administrator Serwera TEK-ART wrote:

Bad certificate error was produced by OpenSSL, and connection failed by Netscape/Mozilla browser, while MSIE opened the secure pages correctly. I have noticed, that some commercial servers based on commercial (e.g. VeriSign) certificated are opened correctly by the browser. So it means, that OpenSSL produces certificates ONLY MSIE compatible. Well, as far as I think so :) If you know, how I can produce an all-browser-compatible certificate using my own CA and OpenSSL, I would be grateful for such an information. SeeYa
