Important Security Alert for Webmasters, Internet Administrators and Users
Verisign Certificate Expiration
Netscape Communicator 4.05 or earlier include a root certificate set
to expire on December 31, 1999. Users of these browsers will
experience an additional dialog box when connecting to secure sites
after January 1, 2000. This is a user interface issue; root CA
certificate expiration does not affect SSL encryption. A user may
safely click on continue and proceed with secure transactions. This
is not a Y2K issue.
In order to eliminate this additional dialog box, the user must
upgrade their browser or delete and obtain a new root CA certificate.
This applies to Netscape Navigator 2.02 for OS/2 and to Netscape
Communicator 4.04 for OS/2 Warp. Netscape Communicator 4.61 for OS/2
Warp has an updated root CA certificate and needs no action.
