Very odd, I agree.  May I check 2 things with you?


Their rejection message does suggest folk might not be using the 
'right address' - which could mean a different url was employed, 
landing on a different server.  Did you use:
https://secure.gateway.gov.uk:443
or
htps://www.secure.gateway.go.uk:443 ?


When you normally login, do you login using a username, and a 
password?  That is the commonest method, I believe (and which we use) 
but when the Secure Gateway was first created there was a facility for 
people to obtain a 'certificate'.  We didn't do that, and the HMRC 
filing software doesn't work with user certificates anyway.  But I 
wondered which of the two possible schemes you used when you 
successfully logged in; username, or certificate?

Thanks for your test, which shows that their system is working - at 
least in some regions, or some modes.

regards, Ron
