[EAS] IPAWS certificate authority (CA) expires in less than 20 days...

[Rich Parker]

Thanks for the reminder!
Odd thing though - I downloaded the new cert, uploaded it and happened
to notice that my REMOTE CAP SERVER was set to CAP PUSH INPUT
This is on a DASDEC II software build 4.x
I thought, well, that isn't what the field bulletin says (other than
'The name may differ from the one shown' - which was *FEMA IPAWS*
But hey, what the heck, I set it to FEMA IPAWS and it said
'initializing' and then returned a 404 error, so I put it back to CAP
PUSH INPUT
I sent a support request in to DAS, but they are apparently very busy
(duh) so no idea when I'll get a call back.
And you know, maybe PUSH is better, and the things work (6 of them)
but it seemed odd that the field bulletin was different.
Maybe they'll call - who knows.... ;)
