problem description
Using the IE7 browser to access the https site under Vista system will also appear "There is a problem with the security certificate of this website. The security certificate provided by this website is not trusted by the certificate method organization. The issued security certificate issue may show an error message trying to trick you or intercept the data you sent to the server, but his resolution is quite different from XP under IE7.

The error message says "The CA root certificate is not trusted because it is not in the trusted root certificate authority store." Solution 1. First open the IE7 browser, then open the property settings window via "Tools -> Internet Options", and select the "Content" tab, directly click the "Certificate" tab.
2. Select the "trusted root certification authority" when selecting the type of certificate to be installed, then click the "Import" button in the lower left corner.

This file is fine.
4. At the certificate store settings, as described above, choose to place all certificates in the following store -- a trusted root certificate authority.
5. Click the "Yes" button in the window where the certificate is installed.
6. After all the work is completed, there will be a prompt for successful import. In the future, we will not see the above error message when we visit the https encrypted site.
Note If the problem is still not solved after modifying the settings, then we should also check the "Use SSL 2.0" under the Advanced tab of the Internet option of Internet Explorer, because IE7 filters out the SSL 2.0 protocol by default. If the https website happens to be accessible only using the SSL 2.0 protocol, an error message will appear. Note: The purpose of this prompt in IE is to alert the user to possible risks. The prerequisite for this is to confirm that the certificate provided by the website and the website is trustworthy.
