This organization’s certificate has been revoked. – IE 7 & Vista?
Recently on one of my sites, my customers have been getting this when using Internet Explorer 7 with or without Vista.
“There is a problem with this website’s security certificate. This organization’s certificate has been revoked. Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server. We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.”
The last line “We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.” is something I don’t like my customers seeing, and neither do my clients. =) After doing some research and coming up completely empty handed I decided to trial and error the issue myself.
My certificate is a High Assurance type from GoDaddy.com. This is there middle version of their SSL Certificates which is plenty for our needs. I had my host reinstall my cert with the old information that I had from a while back. This was from the originally generated CSR for IIS. This didn’t fix the problem. I decided to re-key the cert which required getting a new CSR from the host. Once I had this GoDaddy’s admin made it very easy to get my new key.
I was given three files. cross_intermediate.crt, intermediate.crt and site.crt. The files had to be installed in this order. Once I handed these over to the host and they re-installed… BOOM… worked great.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Superbowl and Prince’s Penis Guitar Silhouette…
So I know that with the wardrobe malfunction we will never see another Super Bowl halftime that is worth anything. I was impressed that Prince wasn’t lip synch’ing, but the part where they had the silhouette of Prince playing his special guitar was one of the best laughs I have had in a long time. It is the first time I have seen someone get away with a blantant phaliic symbol on national TV. It was great.

Maybe someday I can fine the image and post it here.Z Found it! I am sure I am already in trouble for using the word “Superbowl” in the title. Oh well… it was still funny. At least something was. Commercials weren’t all there. I did like the rock paper scissors.

Microsoft Zune MP3 Player Is Locking Up… Guess I Have To Eat Crow…
So I made a nice little post a while back about my Zune and how much I loved it. My relationship has quickly become a love hate type of thing now. I really do like all of the features of my Zune. The screen is amazing… the music sounds better than my iPod (could just be the headphones)… but I have one problem; the damn thing won’t stop locking up when I am in the gym. I have noticed that everytime I go to the gym and use the Zune on the treadmill the screen will shut off and the music stops playing. It then takes me about 60-120 seconds before I can use it again.
I need my music to run because it really does take my mind off the fact that I am running which makes it 20 times easier. When the damn Zune locks up I have mess with it which causes me to get burnt out much more quickly. I have tried reloading the software, the Zune, and nothing makes it work for me.
My next step is simple. I am taking it back to Costco and waiting for the next gen to come out. They have some major bugs to work out of this thing and I don’t want to wait for that to happen.
My theory as to what is causing the issue? Since the Zune only locks up in the gym I am wondering if the wireless (even though turned off) is getting some interferance from the Polar heart rate monitors that are built into the machine? Either that or it just doesn’t like exercise.
Looks like I will have to eat crow and stick with my iPod for a little while longer. Damn you Microsoft for allowing me to back you up and then crushing me like this!!! DAMN YOU!!!! I’m fine now.
