Hi Nelson,

I agree. Here are the basics:

First of all, I am using version 2.0.0.11.  The following parameters
might be of interest:security.enable_ssl2=false,
security.enable_ssl3=true, security.enable_tls=true
The error I am getting after a few clicks or reloads is "Could not
establish an encrypted connection because certificate presented by
localhost has an invalid signature."

As I mentioned this happens with DSA certificates only.  RSA seems not
to cause a problem.  Also, I've only been able to test this on Java-
based servers (Jetty, Tomcat).

Originally we thought, that this was a Jetty bug. So, some of the
history can be found here:
http://www.nabble.com/jetty-ssl-problems-to13726768.html#a13816984
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JETTY-484

Please let me know, if there is additional information I can provide.

Thanks,
-Stefan
