Updated CA certificate for the IBG web server

The 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:
