Problem:
The version of PSM distributed with Beonex Communicator 0.6 Linux does not
generate good certificates. These certificates appear to work, but are not
secure.
Workaround:
Do not use the "Obtain New..." function under
Tasks|Privacy and Security|Security Manager|Certificates|Mine.
If you already did, invalidate the certificate immediately and obtain a new
one using other software.
*Not* affected:
* Beonex Communicator 0.6 Windows
* Usage of certificates generated with other software (e.g. certificates
imported from Netscape Communicator 4.x)
* Normal secure webbrowsing (https without authentication of the client)
The bug is already fixed and will be removed with the next normal release.
