certificate's CN name does not match the passed value
in [Outlook Express]

From: spoon2001 on 20 Dec 2007 13:51 My friend is getting the following message when starting up OE: Internet Security Warning The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that could not be verified. The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value. Do you want to continue using this server? Yes No I looked at the security certificates on my own system. In Outlook Express, I selected Tools - Options - Security - Digital IDs. The Certificates dialog shows a list certificates under several tabs: Personal, Other People, Intermediate Certification Authorities, Trusted Root Certification Authorities, Trusted Publishers, Untrusted Publishers. On my system, I have well over 100 certificates listed in these tabs! How do I know which certificate is causing the problem?
From: Michael Santovec on 20 Dec 2007 15:14 The message is not talking about your digital ids. On his PC he has specified Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced to use SSL for the POP3 mail server. The certificate that the POP3 mail server responds with does not match the POP3 server name on the Servers tab. This would point to one of several causes: - He's using an alias or IP address for the POP3 server name - He's using an anti-virus scanning e-mail or anti-spam program and it is screwing up the SSL processing - The mail service has an error in their certificate. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "spoon2001" <invalid(a)invalid.invalid> wrote in message news:9ngwy7sl49dn$.1wrauxy3i14zi.dlg(a)40tude.net... > My friend is getting the following message when starting up OE: > > Internet Security Warning > The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that > could > not be verified. > The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value. > Do you want to continue using this server? > Yes No > > I looked at the security certificates on my own system.

Thanks Michael. I had him gave him server names to type in, as well as SMTP and POP3 port numbers for SSL. Not sure what did the trick, but he reports the problem is gone.
