AMS obtains certificates for their clients from Starfield
Technologies:
<http://www.starfieldtech.com/>
Do you have a concern about this choice or is your concern about
the fact that your browser didn't accept the certificate by default?
If you have a concern about this choice it would help if you could
be specific about what that is. Their web site seems pretty
complete to me so any one of us could "check them out." I think we
need to trust AMS to make a good choice unless we can identify an
issue.
As far your browser not accepting the certificate, I'm sure you
realize there a lot of reasons that could happen including the
latest version of Safari "missing" a particular root certificate.
