Trusted certs - was: RE: [AG-TECH] AG2.2 and above on Win2K?

[Supreeya Miller]

Jon,

Your certificate is probably ok.  It is a bug of this version that the
certificate was imported, but somehow the trusted certificate did not get
done properly.

Here what I did (by the help from Robert Olson):
	1. Run the Venue Client,
	2. Click on Preferences > Manage Certificates > View Identity Certificate,
		(Since I had problem, I requested many certs.)
	   Keep the certificate that I knew for sure what the password was and
deleted the rest (I could have exported them for other uses.)
	3. Click on Preferences again, choose Manage Certificates > View Trusted CA
certificates.
	   At this point I think I clicked on Import.  Then I got the trusted
certificates imported.
Then it logged me in immediately without asking for a passphrase.

After that I had no problem using the AG2.

I'm getting a password error on a WinXP machine with
the same user certs that I use on other machines.
I've checked that the certs that I imported are not
corrupted and my configuration seems ok.
How do I check the trusted certs and where do I get
them if they don't come with the installation?

Thanks,
Jon.
