I just happened to have a look at the list of digital certificates and was surprised to see DigiNotar among the trusted-for-ever entries.

To refresh the reader's memory: there was a nasty case of sloppy routine a year or two ago, resulting in an intrusion and fake certificates, followed by the chemspill release to weed out anything remotely smelling of DigiNotar.

Looks like we are friends again - or is there something fishy with my environment?

There shouldn't be any DigiNotar certificates present under the Authorities tab in the Certificate Manager, but there should be permanent block entries under the Servers tab.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced : Encryption: Certificates - View Certificates

Select a DigiNotar certificate in the Certificate Manager > Servers.

  • Click the "Edit Trust" button to verify that the certificate is not trusted and "Do not trust the authenticity of this certificate" is selected.
