jje Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 This support request is being escalated to our root admin. Would you like to use a self-signed certificate, or have you bought a certificate from an SSL certificate registrer such as VeriSign. Please remember that self-signed certificates will show a warning to users and are usually used for tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geoff Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 You can also get a certificate from startssl. They offer free certs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jje Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 You can also get a certificate from startssl. They offer free certs. Yeah - I noticed that before. @Geoff - Do you know whether these actually provide real certificates which browsers will recognize with no catch?

Guest Geoff Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Yes, the actually provide real certificates which browsers will recognize. However, there are a couple of catches: 1. You have to give them your personal information. 2. Their site has browser compatibility issues. If you would like a free certificate (one without having any restrictions), then you will need to go with CACert. However, their certs are not trusted by browsers, so you will need to tell your clients to install the root cert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
