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.
What are other people using for their wildcard SSL certificates and what hoops
does the CA require you to lump through to verify who you are?
