When accessing a web site that requires client digital certificate authentication (X509v3) . On the Mac , Netscape re-requests the user to select user digital certificate on every secure page entry . Accessing the same site from the same version of netscape running on Intel correctly only request the user to select certificate on secure session creation . Web site is IIS on NT4Sp4 . Under SSL there is a re-use function , thus when accesing a site within the same domian a tcp/ip session should be re-used and thus the key pairs in use etc do not have to be regenerated . On the MAC netscape version it seems that session re-use is not supported . When accessing such a site (which will become more common with E-commerce) it is extremely annoying to have a certificate dialog presented on every page post . Our site uses both client and server digital certificates . Microsoft server gated crypto to provide site authentication and 128bit encryption . Client digital certificates for non-repudiation and client authentication .
Murray, what version of Communicator are you using? This sounds like a 4.x bug. Bugzilla is for 5.0 bugs only. Please let us know so we can help.

I'm leaving Netscape, so I'm reassigning all my pending bugs to David Drinan. I've added "[from mwelch@netscape.com]" to the status whiteboard for each of these bugs for easier searching.

Marking invalid. There is no testcase, and more than a year since hearing from Murray.
