SYMPTOMS
========
When you use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection to connect to a server
whose server certificate contains odd-sized keys (keys that are not a power of
2, or 2 ^ n), the connection may fail on Windows NT and Windows 2000. Network
packets that are captured with Network Monitor show that the connection fails in
the SSL negotiation stage.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this behavior, use a server certificate that contains
normal-sized keys (keys that are a power of 2, or 2 ^ n), such as 512-bit keys
and 1,024-bit keys.
