Certificate (https) problem still an issue with firefox 0.8

draziw · Post by **draziw** » February 22nd, 2004, 10:19 am

On a home server, the cert expired, so I built a new one, and now I can't visit the page any more. No way to delete the old cert to add the new one. Anyone have a work around or fix?

The message: "You have received an invalid certificate. It contains the same issuer name and serial number as another certificate you are already using. Please contact the server administrator or email corresponent from which this invalid certificate came, and urge them to get a valid certificate."

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ryan

Try:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Certificates -> Manage Certificates... -> Web Sites -> select -> Delete?
(Remove the old certificate, then add the new one)

The problem is that no cerfiticates show up under "Web Sites" (or any of the other tabs for that matter.

This is what the cert tab shows<br><img src="http://www.ddnsupport.com/cert.png" alt="No certs" />

A search on this problem shows a number of people have had the same issue. No fix found from my searching though. ](*,)

Anyone come up with a work around?

Thanks,
Ryan

Now entered:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235370

User-Agent:
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

On a home server, the cert expired, so I built a new one, and now I can't visit
the page any more.

It pops up this message: "You have received an invalid certificate. It contains
the same issuer name and serial number as another certificate you are already
using. Please contact the server administrator or email corresponent from which
this invalid certificate came, and urge them to get a valid certificate." when I
visit the page. There is no way to delete the old cert (to allow installing the
new one). The manage web certs page under options shows zero certs.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit website with homebuilt cert
2. Add cert
3. Have cert expire, go build a new one
4. Try to visit website & fail.

Actual Results:
Message: You have received an invalid certificate. It contains the same issuer
name and serial number as another certificate you are already using. Please
contact the server administrator or email corresponent from which this invalid
certificate came, and urge them to get a valid certificate.

Expected Results:
Let me zap old cert, and put in new one (or ignore it, or at least view it)

No solution yet?

This is really annoying.....
I have to use IE just to connect to my firewall to use the secure web page.

I have the exact same problem here...

I had to reinstall my webmail testserver and now the cert is invalid and I do not have it under advanced settings either....

Just curious, but I don't believe that when you add a webserver cert it goes to the webserver tab. I think it goes to the authorities tab. I would search through that a sec and see if it works.

You where right, here is a pic of the cert that got added when I visit my webmailserver at 81.216.32.9/sq/
