Mallesons Stephen Jaques www.mallesons.com Confidential communication FYI : this has broken our Java clients using nfuse The VeriSign Global Server Intermediate Root CA for IIS expires on January 7, 2004 (834438) <https://premier.microsoft.com/premier/library/default.aspx?scid=/premier/library/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;834438#appliesto> SUMMARY When you try to connect to a Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Web site through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), you may receive the following error messages: 403.16 - Client certificate is untrusted or invalid. The secured certificate has expired or is not valid. CAUSE This problem occurs because the old VeriSign [128-bit SSL] Global Server Intermediate Root CA expires on January 7, 2004. Servers that are running IIS that have not been updated with the new Global Server Intermediate Root CA may encounter problems when they try to establish SSL sessions by using the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol after January 7, 2004. Note This problem does not affect servers that use VeriSign [40-bit] Secure Server ID certificates.
