Verisign SSL Certificate on Windows 2008
This last weekend we’ve just migrated our production environment to Windows 2008 and SQL Server 2008.
One of our applications works with a SSL Certificate, wich we’ve bought from Verisign, whom is valid until January 15, 2010.
After configure the application in IIS7, and trying to reach the website under ssl on Firefox we’ve received an error message indicating that the certificate is not valid. Strange behavior, considering that in IE7 and Chrome it didin’t reported any issue.
After some investigation, i found that the problem was with the Intermediate Certificates installed by default on Windows 2008 Certificate Manager, that expired at 01-07-2004.
To solve this problem, we need to update the Intermediate certificates. To do this follow the next links:

After installing the Intermediate Certificate, you need to restart the server. An iisreset doen’t fix the problem.
