Yes, the change to me.com seems to work. Thanks.
How, or why, it works I have no idea. The whole Certificates of
Authority thing is certainly not user-friendly.
Maybe this will help you understand them a little.
Parents tell their children never to talk to strangers and never to take
rides from strangers.
However, some parents plan ahead for emergencies. They give their
children a code word. Only the parents and the children know this code word.
Assume that a sibling has had an accident and is in the hospital. Both
parents are at the hospital and need a co-worker to pick up their other
child from school. The child does not know this co-worker.
The co-worker approaches the child and says, "I work with your mother.
She asked me to pick you up and take you home." The child asks, "What's
the code word?" The co-worker says the code word to the child. That's
like presenting a certificate.
The child knows that only his mother and father know the code word. They
are like a certificate authority.
Because the child trusts his parents and trusts that they would not give
out the code word except in an emergency, he then immediately trusts the
co-worker.
That's essentially what happens every time Entourage logs in to MobileMe
whenever secure connections are enabled.
This is also why creating your own certificate (creating your own code
word) won't work.
Sorry for being persistent but I hate seeing folks get confused. If I'm
still failing just say so and I'll stop.
Hope this helps!
