This organization's certificate has been revoked.

Hi,

I have one SSL protected web site with certificate issued by our
organization.
It used to run fine untill recently I replaced the old certificate with the
other one with the same name and host address due to configuration issues.I
also revoked the old one.
Now when I try to access the site I can not enter because of this screen:

There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
This organization's certificate has been revoked.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or
intercept any data you send to the server.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this
website.
Click here to close this webpage.

More information

Please notice that the Continue to this website (not recommended). link is
missing, because href attribute is empty.
The actual HTML is like this:


<tr>
<td > </td>
<td id="continueToSiteAlign" align="left" valign="middle">
<h4 id="continueToSite">
<img src="red_shield.png" ID="ImgOverride" border="0" alt="Not
recommended icon" class="actionIcon"><A href='' ID="overridelink"
NAME="overridelink" >Continue to this website (not recommended).</A>
</h4>
</td>
</tr>

I can not enter the site at all and unchecking the Check revocation list
option is not an option for the clients that are using this site.

Please let me know how I can proceed.

Thanks!

It appears to me that the cert chain is still pointing to the old
certificate.

Go on the server itself and inspect in the IIS, directory security, the
certificate. Is is the proper one? You may need to rerun the cert
request and go to the Cert authority and run the rekeying wizard.

Bottom line, in my experience this isn't an issue with Vista, but rather
your certificate on the IIS side.
