There is a government site I use regularly that gives me a "Security Alert"
dialog EVERY TIME.

Partial text: "The security certificate was issued by a company you have not
chosen to trust."

PROBLEM:

1) I have never chosen not to trust this "company"
2) The site is an IE Trusted site (I added it)
3) I did try installing the certificate as Trusted and the Wizard reported
successful install

I assume that there is an entry in the Untrusted section of Certificate
trusts and installing it in Trusted section does not override the Untrusted
entry.

How do I edit Certificate trusts, especially in this case.

There is always the possibility that the cert is revoked. It would be easy
to check that by unchecking the checkboxes for cert revocation at:
IE, tools, options, advanced tab.

After I installed the certificate as Trusted, I looked at it.

The dialog shows "Valid from 7/24/2007 to 7/24/2010"

BUT also says, "Windows does not have enough information to verify this
certificate."

I've already contacted the government site about this and sent screenshots.

Any other suggestions?

I think you're stuck with waiting for news from the site. It really sounds
like the cert is revoked to me.

Nope, it's NOT revoked. Tried your suggestion.

Also, just in case, we use IE6 on WinXP SP2.

Get exact same problem on our Win2k Server. So that tells me it IS a
certificate problem. But, as usual, the problem government WEB site says it's
a Windows problem (watch the bouncing ball).
