====== Updated CA certificate for the IBG web server ====== | |
The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority|certificate authority]](CA) which issued IBG's website certificate has had their own certificate expire. They have issued a new certificate, but the new certificate is not yet incorporated into many web browsers. Web browsers that do not have the new certificate will show a security warning. To avoid this warning the new CA certificate must be installed in your browser. | |
| |
Detailed instructions for updating the certificate will be provided soon. | |
| |
===== Certificate Installation Instructions ===== | |

==== Firefox ==== | |
| |
To install the new certificate, go to the CA's website at [[http://certs.ipsca.com/Support/hierarchy-ipsca.asp]] and then click the ''ipsCA Global CA Root'' link at the bottom of the page: | |
