IE8 doesn't accept a valid certificate while Firefox does

Question

When I browse my site with IE8, it gives the error below.

"The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority."

But when I use Firefox, it says it's verified by GoDaddy.com, Inc.

I installed gd-class2-root.cer to IE8 but the problem persists. Do you have any ideas for that?

Thanks!

Solution 1

I downloaded all certificates from Go Daddy Repository and installed gd_bundle.crt, now it it seems ok.

Solution 2

Use http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html to make sure that the server is giving out all the correct Intermediate certificates. There are usually 3 of them with GoDaddy.

I've heard that GoDaddy certs have had issues in IE8, but I can't find reference to that right now.... I seem to remember having to get GoDaddy support on the phone, something invalid in the validation path or something like that.

I checked but there is no such certificate exists there. I'm using Windows 7, maybe it helps.

I checked it and it's valid.
