Godaddy ssl sertificate problem...

The problem is that your certificate has been signed
by a Certificate Authority which is not trusted by
many browsers.

Your HTTPS instance worked fine on my internet
explorer 7, but did indeed fail on firefox. An
examination of the certificate revealed that your
certificate was issued by StarField Secure
Certification Authority.

Quite honestly, I had never heard of these guys. I
always use thawte or verisign.

Godaddy ssl sertificate problem...

Ok, after doing some more research, I need to take the
statement in which I said their certificates are not
trusted in many browsers back. It does appear that
most browsers trust StarTech.

I looked thru the CA certs in firefox and noticed it
has a trusted CA for StarTech. Hmmm very interesting.
I wonder if perhaps they updated their CA?
