Hi Guys.

I've had a look through google and cant seem to find anything on this and was wondering if there is anyone here who can help me out with it.

We would like to know whether or not it is possible to use JavaScript or another language to detect whether the CA who signed the SSL certificate is trusted by the remote computer or not?

So say i visit secure.mydomain.com, if possible i would like to make a popup saying something along the lines of "Your computer does not trust our root CA, the following message you will see will be a secruity alert about this. To remove the message (and this one) please install our CA onto your computer."

If anyone can help then that would be great.

Thanks, Steven.

It possibly could be done with and ActiveX control, but I highly doubt you can do it in JavaScript...

Thanks for that, I'll take a look and see if i can find anything on Active-X controls.
