You are on the right track.  Also I remember that there is a procedure
to update you CA with all the latest standard certificates.  Search the
archives for expired certificates.

Amazing - how do you find this stuff?

Any way, I went to the web site and CALLed the program.  I was then able
to get into the certificate store *AND* the results of my FTP attempt
changed from "Secure connection error, return code -93" to "Secure
connection error, return code -23" with -23 indicating "Certificate is
not signed by a trusted certificate authority".

I believe the site to which I am attempting to connect uses a Verisign
certificate.  The only Verisign certificate in my certificate store
appears to be expired (validity period 2/3/98 - 3/4/03).  I have asked
my contact to send me a copy of the certificate which they are using.
My intent is to copy that certificate into my *SYSTEM CA.

Am I on the right track?
