When
using a secure certificate, always make sure you add the 's'
after 'http'. Example: https://...
Using
our secure certificate:
If
you want your own secure certificate (https://www.yourname.com/),
you must acquire one from Thawte
or Verisign.
You can generate the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and install
the certificate by clicking the 'Secure Server' button in the Control
Panel. The Secure URL will appear as:
https://www.yourdomain.com/
Once
a CSR is generated from your control panel, copy and paste it into
the CSR field on Thawte or Verisign's web site. Thawte's certificate
is just as high in quality a secure certificate as Verisign's and,
at this time, is much less expensive.
Thawte
walk through:
1.
Generate you CSR by clicking the "Secure Server" button
in your control panel to generate CSR code. Highlight and Select
all of the CSR code and copy. (Save this CSR Code).
2.
Go to https://www.thawte.com/cgi/server/step1.exe
3.
Choose 'SSL Server Certificate' and click 'Next.'
4.
Paste the CSR code from Step 1 into the 'Certificate Signing
Request (CSR)' field.
5.
Choose 'Apache+mod_ssl' as web server software.
6.
Click 'Next' to continue with payment options.
You
will need to fax your local Thawte office a printout of your company
information proving that it is your company and you own the domain
name that the secure certificate is for. Fax is available on their
site at: http://www.thawte.com/
