anyone with Geotrust Certificate, pls help.

Geotrust is well known for not validating the identity of the ssl applicant for their ssl certs. but I had a look at one of their certificate, actually the one on their website and the ssl cert says:


"This certificate is intended to:
Ensures the identity of a remote computer"

Why is there inconsistency between what they say in their cert and what they do? A user who doesn't know what Geotrust does/doesn't do will believe that the website has been authenticated and trust the website.

Where does this leave the buyer of their Certificate as the message we will be giving to our customers who visits our site would be a wrong message. Where would this leave us for displaying a certificate on our website with a message that we know is wrong?

Anyone, who has Geotrust certs can you pls check and let the forum know what it says. I am trying to establish if they have been differentiating between validated SSL cert by switching off this message or not.

thanks

hosty
