Too soon for me to tell -- these are the first IPS CA certs on our campus. My
limited testing hasn't shown any troubles yet. Since we were using self-signed
certs previously, our students were used to the cert warning. The problem came
with moving from subnet to subnet; the box would change, but the cert didn't,
and the error sometimes prevented the student from authenticating. I seem to
recall IE was more forgiving / sloppier than Firefox.

As we are implementing CCA on campus, the roaming population is about to
explode, so I wanted to update the certs before the semester begins next week.

More information as I get it; we'll be watching carefully.
