Question : Self-signed and trusted 3rd party server identification certificates on the same domain controller.

Our network servers are issued server identification certificates by a private internal certificate authority (Windows 2008).  I am working on the implementation of a service that will require a server identification certificate issued by a trusted public root CA such as Thawte or GoDaddy.  My understanding of the ins and outs of SSL being of a basic nature, I do not know if a server can be identified by certificates issued by multiple authorities at the same time.

• I don't want to break anything that is working now.

• The 3rd party certificate would need to be in the same name as the private

• The name of the server would include a publicly unresolvable private domain name (e.g. server.domain.local)

• The server in question is a domain controller

Any advice on what can and cannot be done here would be a huge help.

One way woudl be to use the Timer control. You could put a timer on the form with an interval of 1000, which equals 1 second. Of course, you could make it shorter, like 500 for every half second. Then  you could put the code in that. Be sure to enable the Timer control.
