openSSL problem

[Leonid Mishkind]

Hi . I have installed openssl A.00.09.07l on hp-ux server. When I tried to connect to the host with firefox browser , a certificate was issued , and I logged in successfully . After I close the browser and opened it again, trying to connect to the host with the browser failes with a message :
"You have recived an invalid certificate.
Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number"

I am very new to SSL , please help!!!

Leonid.

You must make sure the data in the cerfificate does not match other certificates in the network.

I solved the problem by deleteing the certificate from the browser. but your links helped a lot in understanding the ways of SSL .
Thanks.
