StartSSL.com Certificate Provider: Mini-Review
mouser:
Just a quick heads up: I don't know what this means but all of the new beta browsers (FF4, IE9, Chrome10) seem to not be setup to trust certificates from StartSSL, leading to dire end-of-world warnings when you try to access https on our site.
Needless to say im filled with some rage at this whole f*cking SSL clusterf*ck scam that is designed to scare you away from any site on the web that isn't owned by some giant corporation. I will update as I learn more about what is going on.
Maybe it's something we have misconfigured..
See below -- all seems good now.

The entire security industry is a bloody sham. SSL does one thing. And the browsers cow-tow to security BS. If a certificate provides proper SSL connectivity, it shouldn't be flagged like that. They're simply vampires. Pure and simple.
I doubt you have anything misconfigured. The only thing misconfigured is the security industry. Grrr... >:(

UPDATE:
After talking with Eddy and trying again today, the problem appears fixed!
I don't know enough about ssl certificates to know why it wasn't working a week or two ago but is working now, but all appears well currently. :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

Perhaps it is important news. I read in The Register that StartCom, which operates StartSSL, suffered a security breach that occurred last Wednesday.
