Connection interrupted: SSL Error: Bad or missing remote certificate

Hi All,

We have an issue with a SMTP HTML format mail which contains URL links to images on a remote web server running HTTPS:// (see below for example of mail). Notes has problems retriving these images via HTTPS giving the message below “Connection interrupted: SSL Error: Bad or missing remote certificate”

Any suggestions most welcome, Looks like notes is having a problem accepting a certificate issued by the remote server and hence can not create a secure SSL connection in which to download the messages but no idea how to fix this!!!

Note I can download the images from the mail E.g

No problem via Internet Explorer just not via notes.

Extact of HTML code

Do you have “accept expired SSL certificates” set to NO in your location record? The server’s certificate might be expired.

Thanks Dave that solved the problem!
