You'll notice that the tabs in the screenshot are open to 3 tabs:

1. online banking
2. certificate services
3. contacting Bank of America

My first call got someone who said to just accept whatever the bank
web site gives me. When I protested, they said to call the online
banking instead of customer service.

My second call went to online banking, who took down my information 
but said they had never heard of the problem before. 

My third call went to the supervisor of that person who, when I asked
if they knew what SSL meant, said they did not (so I realized I was 
not going to get a straight answer from her on that call).

At that point, I had posted my question to you.

Luckily, I received a call back from the third person (the online
banking support supervisor) who had checked with their third-party
IT people who confirmed there was some kind of unspecified problem
that they were working on.

Hours later, they fixed it (I just logged in). 

I'm not sure what happened though, as I briefly saw a URL for something
like sso.bankofamerica.com (or something like that) and then it just
went to online banking (without asking me any questions).

So, what was that brief intermediary URL doing?
