Visual Basic/VB >> HTTPS Post and no popup certificate window appears

by Ugotly » Tue, 07 Oct 2003 10:33:04 GMT

Hi,

We're converting over from HTTP to HTTPS for the first
time, and are looking for some assistance.

We're doing an HTTP Open that does a HTTPS Post via VB 6.0
on a Win XP workstation. We are using a local SSL
certificate on our Web server for our testing, and are
expecting, but not getting any pop-up window on the
workstation when we do this programatic Post. When we do a
HTTPS Get on the workstation, we do get the popup asking
us whether we want to accept the server certificate. Any
ideas on why the HTTPS Post does not get the popup window?

Also, when we implement our changes, we plan on using a
Root CA certificate (to eliminate the popup and for other
reasons), and are wondering the best way for us to deploy
this out to our 500+ NT and XP workstations. We are still
using NT domains.

In going to a lot of sites, we haven't found any articles
that spell this all out for you from a programatic
standpoint. We'd welcome any url's you could suggest to us
on this topic.

Thanks in advance for any feedback that you can provide.
