One of my SSL applications is failing because the CA certificate that the
peer uses is expired.   The peer is using a Verisign Class 3 CA.

Looking in my Digital Certificate Manager, I see that the "Verisign Class
3 Public Primary Certification Authority" that comes with the Digital
Certificate Manager expired on Jan 7th, 2004.

I'm trying to figure out how to update it to a new one, and I'm getting
nowhere!  Has anyone solved this problem?

I've found that IBM has the problem posted in their "Flashes" page for IBM
HTTP server.  Here's a link:
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=177&context=SSEQTJ&q1=verisign+ca&uid=swg21156795&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en+en

But, much to my irritation, there are no instructions for the iSeries!

I've also found more information from VeriSign at this link:
http://www.verisign.com/support/vendors/exp-gsid-ssl.html

I've downloaded the certificate from VeriSign and imported it, but the
Digital Certificate Manager complains that this new certificate is also not
valid -- despite the fact that the DCM itself says it's valid until 2011!

This leads me to believe that there's another certificate, a root
certificate, which is also expired, or that theres more steps to do in
getting the new certificate to work.  But, I haven't been able to find out
any information.

help!  Does anyone have a link to a page that explains what I need to do?
Has anyone solved this problem?

Thanks
