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!

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. – squillman Jan 27 '10 at 16:30

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

The directions for GoDaddy certificates indicates that you should disable the "Starfield Class 2 Certificate Authority" certificate. Ran into the same problem recently. Had to enable (now runs with no problem).

Load an MMC console with "Certificates" snap in for the local computer & Computer Account. The go to Intermediate Certification Authorities. From there, go to the Certificates folder. Right click on the "Starfield Class 2 Certificate Authority" cert. You should see the "Disable all purposes for this certificate" selected... choose the top option "Enable all purposes for this certificate".

I checked but there is no such certificate exists there. I'm using Windows 7, maybe it helps. – newth Jan 28 '10 at 12:32

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.
