Imported SSL certificate issue

Hi everyone,

 

 

First up, applolgies if this is not the correct forum, I'm not sure which is the most appropiate forum for this posting.

 

 

In a nutshell, we have run into a problem with an imported SSL certificate from a linux Apache webserver. We are using the BigIP to replace an Apache webserver in a WebSphere environment. We had a Verisign cert on the Apache server for SSL traffic. Although we were able to import the certificate and keyfiles into the BIGIP and assign them to the virtual server running on the BIGIP, whenever we access the site via SSL we receive the following SSL error from IE6/IE7/FF

 

 

This certificate has expired or is not yet valid. Digging a little deeper it (under IE7), looking at the Certification Path I see the following

 

 

Versign Class 3 Public Primary CA (OK)

 

www.verisign.com/CPS Incorp.by Ref. LIABILITY LTD.(c)97 Versign Big RED X against this)

 

(OK)

 

 

We have another Verisign SSL cert on a different virtual server and it is fine. The only difference is that the cert that is working originally created on the BigIP whereas the one that is giving us issues was originally created on a RedHat AS 3 server.

 

 

So, should I be able to use an imported Verisign cert or will I have to create a new one via the BigIP. The cert in question is due to expire soon anyway, so if anyting this has probably just forced out hand a little sooner.

 

 

Any comments/suggestions welcome.
