Default Unable to request a Thawte Freemail X.509 certificate

While requesting a new Freemail (personal e-mail) certificate from Thawte,
the cerificate request procedure does not come to completion. It stalls on
step "[ generate certificate public key ]".There is an empty dropdown list
under the message "Please choose the CSP you wish to use from the list
below:" and the cerificate enrollment process cannot be continued.

Do I need to install a CSP, or enable a service?

Regards,


Benoīt Segond von Banchet

arty:
I found if you use a Windows XP/2000 machine or a Mac with Firefox, you
can request a cert, fetch it and import it into that machine, then
export/backup and copy to Vista. I was able to successfully import it
into Internet Explorer and Firefox and Outlook 2007 to sign emails this
way. It is a pain until they upgrade to CertEnroll but works as a
temporary solution!

On another note, CAcert.org support Vista but you have to import their
root certs so not as nice as Thawte is.
