And maybe it won't be trusted because you don't have the root cert.
Vista may contain something different to your Citrix (Windows 2003?)
servers.
There are two MS tools I use for automating the certificate import so
that users never need to deal with this stuff. Certmgr.exe and
winhttpcertcfg.exe.

I hope that goes someway to helping.
Cheers,
Jeremy.

Its likely that the certificate isn't "trusted" by the system. Open up
the certificate details when you get the prompt, go to the last tab, I
think its "Certification Path", and look at the trust chain. You'll see
the certificate that's being presented and potentially another
certificate above it that is the parent, or root of this one. One or
both of those will probably have a red X next to them. If so download
and install that/these certificates in the computers trusted or
intermediate trust stores. The prompt essentially means "Hey, the server
you're talking to is passing a server certificate that I don't trust.
Are you sure you want to start a dialog?" If you install the
certificates the computer will then implicitly trust the server.
Additionally, I believe each user has their own certificate store, so
you may need to install in the computer's store for them to be global.
Otherwise I don't believe it has anything to do with roaming profiles
and Vista probably remembers the user's first response to the prompt.
Give that a try.

I have users running Vista and they have a local profile and when they
accept the cert they only do it once.

Why do they have to accept the cert?
Is there something wrong with it?

HI,
We have recently implemented a new web application which requires you to
accept a certificate when you open the web page to access the site.
My question is when the user has accepted this and logs out and then
back in they have to accept it again.
We currently use roaming profiles and I was under the impression that
this setting should be held.
Thanks
Ronnie
