Partner's VeriSign Encryption Certificate Shown as Signature Certificate (196321)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition
This article was previously published under Q196321 SYMPTOMS
VeriSign encryption certificates included with imported partner trading
profiles may be designated with a "Usage:" of "signature" on the
Properties page for the certificate. This incorrect designation is only
apparent from the importing partner's Commerce Interchange Pipeline
Manager interface. This incorrect designation has no impact on the actual
functionality of the VeriSign certificate between trading partners.
CAUSE
Commerce Interchange Pipeline Manager has no way of detecting whether
VeriSign certificates imported with partner trading profiles are signature
or encryption, and therefore will always display a "Usage:" of
"signature." This limitation is not apparent when you use certificates
created with Microsoft Certificate Server and imported with partner
trading profiles. Certificates created with Microsoft Certificate Server
and imported with partner trading profiles display the correct usage as
viewed from the importing partners Commerce Interchange Pipeline Manager
interface.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Site Server 3.0, Commerce
Edition.
