3com 6.0.4.6 Manual De Usuario

If you choose not to purchase a signed certificate 
from a third-party CA, you may choose to install the 
self-signed certificate into the trusted certificate store 
on every client that uses Web-Portal. IE 7 must be run 
with administrative privileges to perform this change, 
and it must be performed on each client who will use 
Web-Portal.

Internet Explorer’s handling of wildcard certificates 
changes between IE 6 and IE 7, and for older versions 
of MSS, wildcard SSL certificates will not work in IE 7 
with Web-Portal. A wildcard certificate is one that 
includes an asterisk as the hostname portion of the 
certificate’s common name. For example, a wildcard 
certificate for 3Com Corporation would have a 
common name of “*.3com.com”.

3Com recommends that you upgrade to MSS 
5.0.11.4 or later. The Web Portal feature now handles 
wildcard certificates in a manner that is compatible 
with both IE 6 and IE 7.

Windows Vista drivers are relatively new and have not 
yet reached the maturity level of Windows XP drivers.

3Com recommends that you use the most recent 
Vista drivers available from the manufacturer’s web-
site. If that does not resolve the issue, you can try to 
run the Windows XP drivers for your wireless NIC; 
some of them may run under Vista and provide better 
results.

3WXM does not officially support Windows Vista yet, 
so there may be some interoperability issues. Official 
support will be included in an upcoming release of 
3WXM. Known issues include installer issues for the 
standalone client and the server, as well as intermit-
tent failures to launch the Webstart Client. 

3Com recommends that you do not run the 3WXM 
server on Windows Vista or Longhorn; use Windows 
Server 2003 instead. For clients accessing a 3WXM 
server who have no other choice of OS, run the Java 
Webstart client or use Microsoft’s “Remote Desktop” 
client to connect to a Windows XP computer and run 
the client from there.

Vista client PCs have an interoperability problem with 
a Windows 2003 certificate server. The Windows 
2003 certificate server must be patched with some 
files from a Windows Longhorn server. This URL gives 
the details:
