CA Certificates are those used by the certificate vendors to verify other SSL certificates, they're not just used for HTTPS but lots of other SSL transports. Without up to date CA certificates your ability to communicate securely over SSL is as good as non existent.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 10 Apr 2014 16:37 by MATT</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41025.7&return_msg=41025.7" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41025.7"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41025_8"></a><div class="message" id="message_41025_8"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">10 Apr 2014 17:00</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Matt <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 10 Apr 2014 17:00"></span></span> <span class="message_count">8 of 8</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41025.8">41025.8</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41025.7#a41025_7" target="_self">41025.7</a></div> <div class="message_body"> OK, thanks. I can't remember if they were onboard the original ubuntu server installation, a package dependency, or I deliberately installed them. Maybe they're using stronger encryption, which could explain why they seemed so slow today. Apparently they're not updated very frequently.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41025.8&return_msg=41025.7" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41025.8"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </body>
