Eh... missed the date thing (and don't see after a reread).

Oh, if you actually try it you see the dates the cert is valid. I
kind of expected to see some way old date or something.


But yes, you should check certificates, hell, you
should become *very* worried *not* seeing a certificate
sometimes.

But all within perspective - this case is just not one
of them - this certificate is for encryption only (which
it should note), not for authentication purposes; that
would be another matter.


Slashdot has a very interesting discussion of this very issue. Search
for "Wall of Sheep" for a good laugh: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?no_d2=1&sid=08/06/24/2345223

One could suggest Oracle have an option something like "hey, intranet
here, don't do all this stuff," but I guess that would be a bad idea,
as most intranets I've seen could strain pasta.
