SSL Certificates - possible install issues

first off, i know for a fact SSL certificates are entirely a breeze but this one baffles me.

we have a static IP address for our a site on our server, records are proper and everything looks good on the server but the SSL is not working correctly.

The website is essentially the same in HTTP and HTTPS, it's for medical billing. When we go to the site with the certificate that has been requested, then the CSR uploaded, and the certificate from godaddy.com imported into the system it went okie dokie... however it never updated on the system with the new cert. I installed the cert at 2:30pm, and it's now 4:10, still having yet to update.

This is the error we see.
75.126.220.101:443 uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed.
The certificate is only valid for <a id="cert_domain_link" title="localhost.localdomain">localhost.localdomain</a>
The certificate expired on 5/21/08 3:04 AM.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate)

Anyone got any idea's on this ?

Try restarting apache to see if it makes a difference. If not, then search these forums for other suggestions; search for localhost.localdomain. If you can't find anything then check on the server to see where the certificate lives, and check the userlevel httpd.conf file to see if apache is looking for it in the right place.

All else fails, call me .

Note to everyone: this is NOT a baldface attempt to get business (though I'm not above those either); Rob is a personal friend.

Note to Rob: on the last line of your sig, in the last word: isn't there an i missing? Or am I misreading the meaning of MCSE ?

Jeff,
Thanks i'll give you a shout a little later today, we need to catch up as well ! Now wife has got me going to the grocery store to pick up some food for the house, and Purina Dog Chow for her ha ha ... ok ya, that was bad... lol !

How did you get this fixed... I am having the same problem.

Dont use a self signed certificate?

it was pretty simple, basically paste in the SSL certificate from the issuer below the CRS request. As shown below.

I removed some key's and added jibberish to the certificate as well, so it's not entirely accurate.

Rob, I removed some lines from your private key as well... it's the private key you need to protect; your certificate is sent to the browser of anyone who visits your site.

But if someone has both the Certificate and the private key and they can poison DNS they can redirect from your site to their own, and the Certificate will look perfectly good.

I noticed you still call yourself as an MCSE and a PMP. You need to put the i back into the last word, to make sure people understand what an MCSE really is .

Jeff

Thanks jeff, i acutally had removed a few random lines acorss the private and public key, but more in the public key.

basically paste in the SSL certificate from the issuer below the CRS request.

You past it below the RSA Key not the CSR.
