I recently migrated my network to SBS 2003. Now myself and another user are not able to connect to some sites using a certificate. This has only become an issue since the migration.
I am using IE 7 and the other user IE6.
Anybody have any ideas?

They are on the internet. I work for a financial institution so they both are finance oriented.

One of the sites happens to be the Federal Reserve. I spoke with their tech support and was told that my certificate is probably corrupted. Did I back it up when I receieved it?
Negative. I have to start over and request a new one, and wait the 3-4 days to receive it.

I'll post an update as soon as I receive my new cert. Which I will promptly backup. Lesson learned...

Maybe that is your client's problem also, Shack.

Still working on this issue, but one interesting fact is that several sites are inaccessible, but they are only inaccessible when the user is logged into Bloomberg's web site. We're talking to Bloomberg to see if there's a known issue there. I'll update you when I find out.

Corrupt certificate was the culprit. It must have happened during the migration...
