thank you, Steve. I already have a trial certificate from you guys. I need to check your pricing when it expires (90 days) to determine whether I will buy one.
Alas, I want to learn what the capabilities of certificate encryption are, and what happens when they expire. (In particular, I want to create a document that expires in, say, 3 years.) So, I want to be able to create some test certificates that expire in tomorrow, the day after, etc., and then see whether the document becomes unusable. Unfortunately, Acrobat Pro seems to create 5-year certificates only. so, I need some sample certificates, and I figure openSSL can do this...somehow. /iaw On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 5:51 AM, Steve Roylance < steve.royla...@globalsign.com> wrote: > Ivo, > > GlobalSign offers Adobe CDS based certificates to the market so we are very > familiar with Adobe Acrobat.
