'morning all,

Starting yesterday when downloading from my credit union (America  
First Credit Union), I received the following error:

There was an error communicating with your financial institution.  The  
details of this error are below.

A communication or parsing error occurred.  This could be the result  
of a network problem, a proxy error, or misconfigured server.
Error Description: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:  
java.security.cert.CertificateException: Untrusted Server Certificate  
Chain

Some googling brings me to think that it's one of three possible things:

1. bad certificate from the credit union
2. updated certificate from credit union, for which MD needs to be  
updated
3. bad java version

If it's 1, does anyone have any experience in dealing with their  
financial institutino about these matters?  Sadly, most don't know  
about Moneydance and won't give you a second look unless it's Quicken  
or Money.  In times past, I've simply told them I had quicken, but I  
don't think quicken would throw this kind of message.  If someone has  
some quicken based error messages I can give them, it'd be great.

if it's 2, well then it's a matter of waiting for Sean and co. to do  
an update, what further information do you need?

if it's 3, well, I'm stuck.  I'm on a 32 bit intel mac, and there have  
been no further java updates made available.  I supposed I could try  
one of the third party JVMs, but I'd like to avoid this option if  
possible.

Anyone have any other thoughts?

Thanks,
Dave
