SSL Capable browser? Richard P 02-17-2005

Is this the correct group, if not please point me to the correct one.

I checked the FAQ and could not see any reference to firefox and SSL.

Here is the problem:

I have a web site that is secure using SSL. The code in login.asp
checks for a valid certificate as follows.

certUserName = Request.ClientCertificate("SUBJECTEMAIL")
Issuer = Request.ClientCertificate("IssuerCN")

The above code does not work on firefox. Is this because it is not an
SSL capable browser?

Is there a way of getting my code or similar code to check for a valid
certificate in other browsers such as mozilla and firefox?

Best Regards,
Richard.

YES! Firefox supports SSL/TLS

I use Firefox exclusively. I log into my bank, etc, etc ALL use SSL. I have
never had any problems....I can't help you beyond that. Sorry. I would
suspect that their is something wrong with your code.
