I have recently been forced to upgrade to IE7 and now it complains about a
certificate on a management console that I requently use. It doesn't say
what the problem is which is another issue I have with IE7 but I know it is
because of a hostname mismatch. In any event, I have installed the cert,
added the site to my trusted sites, changed trusted sites to low but it
still constantly complains. How do I get this to stop?

Thanks
Pete

Assuming (1) WinXP SP2 or SP3, (2) the computer's time, date, and time-zone
settings are correct and (3) the computer is fully-patched at Windows
Update:

Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com | Select CUSTOM and scan | Install
any Critical Security Updates offered (i.e., KB972260). If a Root
Certificates update is listed in the Optional Updates category, install it
to take full advantage of IE's enhanced security.

Root Certificates updates are released quarterly (most of the time). While
such updates are installed automatically via Automatic Updates in Vista,
WinXP users must install them manually.

Use the name that matches the certificate? ; )

If you are unable to use the SSL certificate's "common name" in the URL, you
can disable the warning in the Advanced settings (right near the bottom, the
"Warn about certificate address mismatch". However, I'd recommend against
doing this if possible, as you will not be warned about mismatched
certificates at any time - this is not a per-Zone setting, it's an all or
nothing setting.

That's it! Thanks for the help. Funny I didn't see that the first time I
looked through my advanced settings. ;)

:D <-- Happy Pete
