Explanation of Passport Certificate Dialog Boxes from Browser (299495)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Passport 1.3
- Microsoft Passport 1.4
This article was previously published under Q299495 SUMMARY
The first time a Passport user connects to a Passport express purchase Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) page, the browser may display an acceptance dialog box for the security certificate.
MORE INFORMATION
This is required for SSL-served pages. Users must accept this certificate to continue. During the sign-in process at the Passport Login server, there is another SSL connection that writes the "ticket-granting" cookie. It also requires the acceptance of a certificate. Your own SSL-served pages may require yet another certificate-acceptance step. After certificates have been accepted by a client browser user, the dialog box does not appear again unless the certificates expire or are specifically revoked by the certificate-issuing agency.
