If it's from another company, with either their self-signed cert (yes,
even if they run their own CA), you'd have to be awfully trusting, to
trust their root CA.

        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
