Thanks for the assistance. From the URL below, Digicert appears to be the one to go with but in my case, after I requested a refund from Comodo.com they finally got their act together and sent me the wildcard certificate renewal and so I am set for the next three years. http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-certificate-comparison.html?ids=5,13,23,28,45, 49,67,70,86,89 Laurence -----Original Message----- From: Al Bray [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 1:11 PM To: Laurence Bates Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Wildcard SSL certificates Laurence, A couple of months ago we started using DigiCert and their WildCard Plus cert. I have been quite happy with the level of service I received from individuals in the company getting things set up, as well as the level of self-service I am afforded through their portal. Their WildCard Plus certificate comes with an unlimited server license and their portal interface for managing one's certificate(s) is very straight forward to use. It allows one to self-serve (create) a duplicate of the wildcard cert using a new csr/key pairs for installation on additional servers and the new certificate copy is then made available for you to download and use within just a minute or two. Worth a look to see if it might work for your situation. - Al >>> > For the last six years the College of Education has had a wildcard SSL > certificate from Comodo.com but for the renewal they are asking for a copy > of my boss's driver's license plus a letter on MSU stationary stating that > MSU authorizes me to be the SSL certificate holder for *.educ.msu.edu > > > > Letterhead's, signatures and copies of my boss's driver's license seem so > 19th century for an SSL CA.
