Hi,
1st post so go easy...
Just bought Media Center 10 (10.0.27), tried to d/load some alternate skins on the JRiver homepage by clicking on the download link & my browser asks me to specify which Digital certificate I want to use with the site. As I don't have a digital ID I can only click 'cancel' & I get a 'forbidden' error message.
This happens with some but not all skins (pixtudio 'Attacker' does this, as does Genesis's 'Pioneer Supertuner III')
Is this a security feature to allow only registered users to d/load skins/plugins etc, if so, where can I get a Digital ID for this? I can supply my purchase details if needs be?
Not sure if this is a MC10 build problem or a specific to me problem so I'll post in the Plugins & Skins thread as well, admins feel free to delete whichever is not relevant.
Oh & I've tried both Mozilla Firebird 0.7 & IE 6 - they both ask for a certificate...
Thanks!
Update:
I have checked & tried variations in the security options in both Firebird & IE (they were at default anyway), sadly no joy...the certificates are still being asked for.
Besides, I'm thinking that if this is happening across both browsers plus I get the EXACT same 'Client Authentication' window using either browser suggests that it's the remote site, that & the message 'the website that you want to view requests authentication' in said window (of course windows could be lying through it's teeth - wouldn't be the first time!) However I have had no other problem with any other webpages, secure or otherwise, which leads me to believe it's some sort of external problem...
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
Oh, just in case this helps...(long shot I know...)

Yet another Update:
If I click 'cancel' at the screenshot posted above I get error:
Failed to connect to a server

http://accessories.musicex.com/mediajukebox/mj_data/miniskins/attacker_wa.zipLooks like the 'left-click' on the link, which then activates the '.mjb' file handler is OK, it's when the '.mjb' file handler tries to get the .zip file from the server that the certification kicks in for certain files...
Like I said before it looks like the certification is browser-independant & windows generated, considering I get the exact same screen with both FB & IE of course, I'm no web guru, so I canna be sure!
However I would say that it's gonna be slightly tedious doing this for every plugin/skin/whatever that I want, BUT if the JRiver boys could have a look at those 2 skins' links & see what the difference is between them & say S Haggard's 'Birthstones' skin or Zrockers 'Lower right' skin which install fine, it may help pinpoint the problem? (these are all mini-me skins btw)
Thanks again for your help King Sparta BTW...
