I tried to concat the files ... in fact godaddy sent me a concatendated file which they called their "CA bundle" ..this did not help .... I also added the params suggested to the nsd.tcl but that did not help .... aolserver reports
Bsafe error 524
..which from the docs seems to be from http://quimby.gnus.org/internet-drafts/draft-baldwin-bsafe-00.txt it seems that this is
"invalid encoding format for input data"
It seems that acs 3.x / and that generation of aolserver does not support recent changes in cert generation ? Spoke to other folks who have also not been sucessful using certs from godaddy.
if anyone has suggestions, it would be appreciated, else ill need to use a Thawte cert.
