How Long Does It Take RapidSSL Certificates Issue?
Jun 10, 2007I signed up with namecheap.com for RapidSSL. I had my hosting provider generate a CSR for me and I put it in namecheap. Then I receive an email from namecheap that says:
==========
Thank you for your RapidSSL order.
Supplier Order Id: ######
An email will be sent to the designated approver with instructions on how to approve your certificate request for xxx.domain.com.
==========
This was sent about two hours ago. I need this SSL fast as it is the backbone of my website. Namecheap doesn't have phone support and RapidSSL is closed on weekends. Any insight on when I'll get instructions to move onto the next step?
Provisioning DNS Correctly
Jan 15, 2007I was checking this tutorial and thank the lord I did this all correct before I saw this thanks to all of you here on WHT (you all rock!) but right at the end of the tutorial it talks about setting up PTR dns... what exactly are they for? And are they needed?

Also does anyone know how to check/configure the reverse DNS settings?
CPANEL Provisioning
Jul 6, 2007I'm trying to find a solution to an issue. I run a server which has a custom apache configuration where each hosted site requires about 10 custom ENV variables. Currently I'm manually configuring them but I'm moving the product to market and need a solution which integrates with modern bill such as cPanel to handle the provisioning and set up of the new sites. They will need to be generated with the custom variables right out of the gate. I have been told by the people at our server location that this is not possible with cpanel - that it has a structure which it uses to config new sites and in reading the docs at cPanel's site I can't find any reference to this type of requirement so I am wondering if that is correct.
Is anyone aware if A) My server co-lo people are incorrect or B) If there is another app which intefaces with modern bill which allows a greater level of flexibilty when a new site is created? Ideally I would like to trigger a shell script which would also do some initial db settup - I'm thinking that this has got to be doable just unsure where to look.
RapidSSL
Mar 22, 2007does anyone know if RapidSSL is accepted by most used browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari)?
also, if I want to protect "secure.domain.com", do I need to issue the certificate exactly for "secure.domain.com" and it probably wouldn't match "www.secure.domain.com"? Can't I get a certificate for "*.domain.com"?
Namecheap Rapidssl Cancellation
Jun 21, 2007I entered the domain name in wrong - domain.com instead of www .domain.com - and decided to not approve it when you get to the final step as rapidssl said to do.
So how long do i need to wait before namecheap will update the status so that I can start the process again ?
RapidSSL And Internet Explorer 7
Jun 12, 2007I am currently testing RapidSSL and having issues when view the sites using IE7 saying something along this line:
Quote:
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
I wonder if this can be fixed and QuickSSL will also work with IE7,
RapidSSL / GeoTrust Are HUGE SCAMS
Mar 13, 2007A While back I found a great deal for SSL certficates so I purchased a bulk package of about 10 of them and used several of them at the time. Now when I went back to use the rest of my pre-purchased SSL certificates (more than a year later), the "contracts" have apparently EXPIRED and the money that was put into those contracts has been frozen along with the contracts! WHAT THE F#$@!
That is such BS! When you pay money for something you should get something in return.
What have I learned... That to me seems extremely manipulative of RapidSSL and Geotrust...
I WILL NEVER PURCHASE AN SSL FROM Rapid SSL or Geo Trust AGAIN! and I hope this post inspires others to select one of the many other certificate sellers out there that are more upfront about their business.
I have contacted both of them and both are telling me that they cannot help me.
Now that I am looking for a new SSL provider can someone give me a good respectable company.

SSL Certificates :: How To Set Up?
Jul 1, 2008I need to setup SSL.
I've never used SSL on any of my websites and I've never really understood how the certificates work.
I understand that SSL is used as a secure connection protocol (https://) and that it needs a valid certificate so that the encrypted data transfer can be committed.
OK makes sence, but why do some websites seem to have such difficultly setting up valid certificates?
You can setup SSL by with Apache + OpenSSL, but why do website hosting providers still allow you to purchase SSL certificates (isn't it supposed to be free)?
Finally, is it possible to setup SSL for a multiple-domain (Victual Host) server?
SSL Certificates (Where Do I Get One?)
Jan 31, 2008I have a client who requested me to do a website for his credit union company.
Some of the pages are forms that require customers to enter crucial information ie ssn etc etc. I told him that this can be broken into..and therefore he would need a secure way of transmitting this information. Therefore would the SSL certificate work for this issue? Where do i get one? We have a dedicated server and do i need to configure anything on that? Where can i get a trusted SSL Certificate, and ofcourse help to install it.

EV SSL Certificates Installation
Oct 26, 2009I purchased an EV SSL Cert, and all is fine. Installed via cPanel, and I get the green address bar in Firefox, but not in IE.
Comodo (the vendor) have an Auto-Enhancer feature which automatically tells IE to give me a green bar. They state in their FAQ the following instructions to install the feature:
Replace the bundle file that is in use for the web site.
Use the 'SSLCertificateChainFile' directive instead of the 'SSLCACertificateFile'/'SSLCACertificatePath' directives.
I have download a .CA-BUNDLE file from them.
Please tell me, now what do I do? I am at a lost at their instuctions, and going by my dealings with them, I think I can get help from you guys more accurately and quickly.
The server runs WHM/cPanel 11 with Apache 2 with mod_ssl. Full root access, but I am a Linux newbie.
Shared SSL Certificates?
Jan 27, 2005I do web hosting (reseller); how much, in USD per year, do you think is a "reasonable" fee to charge clients for a shared SSL connection ?
The SSL is going to cost me $$ per year and I may have some use for it, but if clients want a shared SSL, instead of buying their own, I need to apportion the costs I incur somehow, and (maybe) make some small profit. I see the shared SSL as more of a service, but clients should pay _some_ $$ if they want to use one.
Any ideas on how much I should charge, please ?
Thanks,
Peter
Wrong SSL Certificates Being Used
May 21, 2007I'm just looking for some background information or a place where I can learn more about this.
Here's the problem:
The web site runs on a dedicated Apache server. There's 2 SSL certificates installed, one for e-commerce for https://www.mysite.com and one to help with the administrative interface for https://admin.mysite.com. I run a custom php application that forces the web page from http://www.mysite.com to https://www.mysite.com when going to an e-commerce page.
Generally everything runs Ok but a few times this year there has been a problem where the php application points to https://www.mysite.com/ecom.php but instead it gets https://admin.mysite.com/ecom.php and gets a page not found.
In discussing this with my web hosting company they claim they haven't changed anything but they do manage to fix the problem and get the web site working correctly again.
I generally figure that the web hosting company has done some type of maintenance on the web server and messed-up the dns entries or something for the SSL part of the web site but this is really outside my area of experience. I'm trying to understand what went wrong and where the entries are that determine when going to SSL which SSL certificate/URL is used.

Where Do You Purchase SSL Certificates From?
Jul 13, 2009I currently have a reseller accounts from Thawte, Comodo, and RapidSSL, but have realized that I can purchase Comodo and Geotrust SSL certificates cheaper from Namecheap.com and Enom.com
Namecheap.com support is (as always) superb. Any opinions from Enom.com support?
What about Resellerclub.com? I know that they recently started to sell Thawte certs at very good prices. How good is their support?

May 6, 2009I am continuously getting this error message in my error_logs
Invalid method in request x16x03x01
I searched and found out that it is something to do with httpd.conf configurations and SSL. So I asked my provider to check it and solve. First they acknowledge that it was SSL issue but later I was told
Quote:
Since cPanel controls how the virtualhosts are configured this error most likely cannot be fix since cPanel will just revert the change. ..... The SSL connection with the selfsigned cert works beyond kicking out the error, but again cPanel controls the httpd.conf and how the * virtualhosts are configured.
So my question is, Is it common to have this error message with a cPanel VPS?
Is there any solution?
I think I hit this error every time when I login to WHM or cPanel of every domain.
Should this be fixed or it's not exactly an issue.
