VeriSign Class 3 Secure Server CA - Error
Hi guys!Hope I'm not posting something discussed before, tried looking, but nothing I found made any sens to me.
Ok, heres the problem.
When I visit different sits this waring pops up, disappear right away and pops up again a number of times.

Does someone know what this is or can help me fix it?

Secure.adviva.net was until recently using a certificate issued from Versisign's G2 Root (which is known to Opera), but had not installed one of the certificates needed by some browsers, the Intermediate CA certificate. Due to a recent regression in Opera, Opera was not able to automatically retrieve the missing certificate, and therefore displayed this warning. There is a fix in the pipeline.
The site has now changed its certificate to one issued by Thawte (which is owned by Verisign).

What do you mean with: "There is a fix in the pipeline" ?
And you say that: "The site has now changed its certificate to one issued by Thawte (which is owned by Verisign)"
Does that mean that you guys at opera has fixed the problem? I'm still getting the same waring, last time just a couple of minutes ago...

That a fix for the problem has been sent to the desktop team. It may or may not already be included in 10.54.
No

No, it means that the web site administrator for adviva.net fixed their server to use a different certificate, at least as far as I can tell from Norway.
Update: They have multiple servers with different IP addresses, configured with multiple certificates from different CAs. That is a substandard way to organize secure servers since it is likely to trigger extra load on the server due to repeated full negotiations.

Same hostname, same missing issuer? (Details are in one of the panels of the dialog)

Yes, its the same hostname..I think.. Here are the three panels of the dialog:

As I mentioned above, adviva is using 4 different server locations (IP addresses), with at least two different certificates. Depending on which server you get connected to, based on DNS response sorting, you can get randomly connected to the badly configured one(s). I have reported the problem to the issuer.
