Fingerprint in IE on MACS

Throwing one out there ! Trusted Root Certificate Authoritites.

What's the deal with the SSL certificate fingerprint output in IE on MACS?..
what is it.. some hex code? Netscape on the MAC shows the same fingerprint
as Netscape or IE on the PC.

On a PC the same cert shows a completely different fingerprint in IE

Is a thumbprint the same as a fingerprint ?

ssl

hi,

i am compiling up mozilla-1.0 from src.  i notice it has its own ssl
stuff in the src tree.   is this code based on openssl?  openssl just
had a security advisory
(http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20020730.txt) and i am wondering
if mozilla is also vulnerable.

thx

matt

Bank site won't work, possible causes?

Hello, I've been cruising along using mozilla for secure sites for a 
while now, but about a month ago moz stopped working with my bank site. 
  After I try to log on, it returns a page saying that there was a 
verification error.

It turns out that something must be bad with my profile.  If I create a 
new profile I can log onto the bank just fine.  I went through my 
preferences and my prefs.js file, and I can not find any settings made 
that vary from the default.

I would like to fix my current profile without the hassle of moving over 
to a new one.  Does anyone have any hints about where I can look?  Any 
files (like key3.db) that I can delete to re-initialize my security?

I appreciate any tips.
Thanks,
Ben

Hi, and thanks.  There are no references to my bank site in the cookies 
manager.

Is it a page that's returned or a pop-up dialog from Mozilla ? This can 
make a big difference.

If the certificate of the bank is the problem, the cert7.db and key3.db 
can be the difference. Please back them up, then erase them from your 
profile. Please post your results. If this fixes the problem, try to put 
back just the cert7.db file, and see if that breaks it again.

is great too."

Re: Bank site won't work, possible causes?

Okay, I backed up and deleted cert7.db, key3.db, xul.mfl, history.dat, 
and deleted my cache folder at the same time, and it didn't work.  The 
site returns an actual web page saying that there is a "member 
verification error", not a pop-up.

Thanks for your advice, Julien and Pascal.

Re: Bank site won't work, possible causes?

Okay, I backed up my prefs.js file and deleted it, and the bank site
works now.  I went through all of the preferences items and they are all 
the same as with the new prefs file.  There must be some old setting 
hidden somewhere in my prefs.js file that is causing this problem.  I 
will post when I find a solution.
