Getting Email Cert on IE7/Vista

Hi,

I’ve tried to apply for an email-certificate at https://secure.comodo.com/products/frontpage?area=SecureEmailCertificate&currency=EUR&region=Europe&country=DE&entryURL=http%3A//www.comodo.com/ using IE7 (and tried FireFox 2.0) running on Windows Vista.

After filling out the form (not using advanced options) I’ve clicked the “Agree and Continue” button. The same form came, all fields were marked with a green check, no error message shown.

Trying again, this time clicking on “Advanced Security Options” I noticed that both IE7 and FF2 do have an empty drop drown box for the “Cryptographic Service Provider” field.

Clicking on “Agree and Continue” has the same results.

I am not getting anywhere. The support of IE7 on Vista on the comodo.com sites is rather bad atm.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi,

Please check out article:

Garry

This article was released on February 13 (has been over 2 1/2 months now) and I am wondering if support for IE7 and Vista is going to happen any time soon?

Hi,

We cannot give you a timeframe, but it is coming.

Garry

Any news about cert on IE7-WMail-VIsta 6 months from the 1rst post?

… I have the same problem with a empty selection box for the Cryptographic Service Provider and no way to go farther the step1 “fill out the form”…

… I’ve been linked to the Comodo web site, through the Windows “Get a digital Id” in the Option/security Tag of Windows mail, so I guess that this problem is known by a lot of people… My Vista is with french language installed, so maybe it’s not exactly what you read when using English Vista.

I would appreciate any information concerning this issue. Thanks.

Hi,

The language files would not have any impact on this not working.

The developers are still working to provide a process for applications done using Vista.

Garry

Its ready!
go and get it everyone :slight_smile:

our email certs are now Vista and Firefox compliant.
thank you for your patience.

Melih

I have to disagree. My email cert. still will not work on my Vista machine. I have submitted a ticket.

Ticket ID: YBR-242515
Department: Certificates
Priority: Default
Status: Closed

Which mysteriously shows closed. How can it be closed since the tech only emailed me once and I responded.

When I try to apply the certificate there are none in my computer. I am
using windows mail. So I click Tools>accounts>mail account>security. Next to
that is a select button. When I click it the box is empty. Same with the
other button. See screenshot for proof.

I have even PM Melih. Still no response. This does not show, in my opinion show a concern for the users of their product. Shame on you Comodo. Please feel free to Pm me or post in the public forum, if you have the nerve.

Rick24,

I have responded to your PM regarding the issue of your Support Ticket status, and have forwarded it on to the appropriate Comodo staff.

You should be hearing from someone soon.

I put my trust in Comodo support earlier. The result was them closing my ticket without any solution. Oh don’t believe me. See below…

That is the only communication from Comodo support I have received. Yes I have PM 2 other Mods., who have responded. However this issue is still to be addressed. Not speaking well for Comodo. Of course that is just me opinion.

Rick,

I also have forwarded your PM to an Administrator to chase up with the Support Centre. Gotta agree that it’s bad form to close the call without an answer.

Ewen :slight_smile:

very weird… thats not what we do usually ???

I asked Garry to investigate it and i am sure he will give us an explanation asap.

Sorry for that Rick, we will get an explanation…

Melih

Hi Rick24,

When support respond to a ticket asking for further information the ticket status goes automatically to closed.
When a customer replies to the request the ticket status turns back to open.

So, at this time, the support team are waiting for you to respond.
As per the reply theey sent ‘Could you please elaborate more on the issue with screen shot’s’.
Screenshots allow us to see what you are actually seeing.

Garry

Hi Rick24,

One thing to check, and include in your reply to the support team.

Start IE7, select Tools, Internet Options, Content, Certificates.
Look in the Personal store.
If the certificate is not in there, then it will not be available for any mail client on that PC.

Garry

edit : Corrected typo’s - panic

Hi Rick24,

I have just double-checked the application/collection process for Vista and it works ok.

I have also double-checked the options to select that collected digitalID in Windows Mail, and it is listed and selectable.

So, please send support the screenshots they requested so they can continue to help you.

Garry

The screen shot that were requested have been sent. Actually they were sent at 3:48pm. They requested them at 3:30. I will resent them. If I have a address I will resend you the email that was sent to them as well.

Hi,

Thanks for the screenshot of Windows Mail.

Did you check the Personal store of IE?

If so, was there a certificate listed?

Also, is the email address used in the Windows Mail account exactly the same as the one you applied for the digital ID for?

Garry

Did you check the Personal store of IE? Yes they are there. However they don’t seem to be able to apply to Windows Mail.

Also, is the email address used in the Windows Mail account exactly the same as the one you applied for the digital ID for? Yes it is exactly the same.

Hi,

Did you check the Personal store of IE? Yes they are there. However they don't seem to be able to apply to Windows Mail.

This usually means (since it is visible in IE but not in the mail client) that the email address setup in Windows Mail is different from the one in the certificate.

Also, is the email address used in the Windows Mail account exactly the same as the one you applied for the digital ID for? Yes it is exactly the same.

Since the above email addresses match I can only summize that there is an issue with Windows Mail.

If you can see the certificate using IE, it means it has been collected correctly, is on your machine, and is available to be assigned. Not seeing it in Windows Mail (or any mail client), even though the email address is exactly the same suggests an issue with Windows Mail (or the mail client being used) .

Garry

Garry you can close this support ticket. Ticket ID: YBR-242515

I have solved the issue.
