RE: SSL Cert 40 bit or 128 bit
Once you get an SSL cert installed, there is very little that can gowrong. I suppose you could get a corrupted file of something, but ifthat happens you'll most likely have bigger problems that will need afull system restore to fix. I think the only kind of support most serveradmins would need is installation support. Unless you're in a hurry,with email support, google, and this list you should be fine. If you are in a hurry, you can grab a test certificate from VeriSignthat's good for a week. When VeriSign calls to ask why you didn't buy acert from them, be sure to tell them that you found another vendor thatcharges far less. (I'm hoping that enough people will stop paying suchexorbitant prices that they will drop the cost to something reasonable.)

RE: SSL Cert 40 bit or 128 bit
I did have trouble with RackShack.net's support, but they just referredme to Geotrust, who was able to help. It was a problem with IIS onWin2k, where you couldn't install renewal certificates. The solutionended up being some foolishness where you had to create a duplicatesite, turn it off, install the approved cert, delete the site, and theninstall cert on the running site. It was due to a very oddimplementation of the key manager by MS. Anyways, I got it running. Next time we renew, I'll be sure to take a look at InstantSSL. Thanksfor the tip!

Re: SSL Cert 40 bit or 128 bit
Hold the horses there buddy... :)I thought the same thing too... but I actually called them and they pointedme to the correct place on their website. I actually went and READ theinstructions... novel idea huh? ;-)Long story short... you need to install another certificate of theirs... itdoesn't come preinstalled on Windows or with IIS. Once you do that yourcert will work perfectly fine and everyone's browser will work fine as well.Check out: https://www.sslprotection.comIt's the domain I installed the certificate on.Finally... it's kinda hard for you to get "screwed" when they offer a 30 daymoney back guarantee.Give their tech support a call or look on their website for installationinstructions for your web server. If you still can't find it, let me knowand I'll see if I still have the link kicking around here somewhere.Their cert DOES work though...

RE: SSL Cert 40 bit or 128 bit
I just wanted to pitch in my USD $0.02...In the grand scheme of things it seems that the _least_ of the problemsto worry about is someone decrypting your SSL traffic. I could be wrong,but if I was trying to get someone's "secret info", be it credit card,or social security, I would mount an attack on the operating system, orthe database on the computer that held the info. The only way someoneeven gets an opportunity to crack SSL is to be able to sniff the packetsas they travel "over the wire." You'd have to be pretty motivated toeven sort through the packets. Then they'd have to get the right pagetransaction, and then spend at least a week with fairly powerfulcomputers to decrypt that one page. If the transaction was on adifferent page, they'd have to start all over again. Also, there are many targets that are an order of magnitude easier tocrack, and have a much greater payoff than sniffing and decryptingpackets. I haven't heard of a single case of someone getting their infostolen from having a 40 bit key cracked. (If anyone has, let me know!) I'm not saying that SSL encryption isn't important (it is!), but I amsaying that, if money is an issue, 128-bit encryption is an overkill forweb transactions. Also, I'd ditch VeriSign, and go with a GeoTrust cert fromhttp://rackshack.net. We've been using them for about six months andhaven't had a single problem.

Oops. I had my original post backwards, sort of. Geotrust is the one with ubiquity issues. IE 5.01+, NN4.51+, no Opera. They're still the cheapest and the easiest to implement.

RE: SSL Cert 40 bit or 128 bit
Unless things have changed recently, the InstantSSL/Comodo certificates *do* have compatibility issues. To be fair they are not very big, but could be serious if you have to ensure broad compatibility across a lot of customers. Read their compatiblity fine print carefully. ''Instant''SSL also told me they require manual authentication, so there's nothing genuinely instant about them. A GeoTrust cert takes maybe 10 minutes total to install, start to finish. If you go to http://rackshack.net you can buy your US$159 Geotrust certificate for US$29 (twenty nine... That's not a misprint). Which, for me at least, torpedoes any reason to use any competitor, barring client specs to the contrary.

Re: SSL Cert 40 bit or 128 bit
I had no problems at all with Instantssl's certificate... Worked fine in MSIE, Netscape, and Opera... They have a 30 day money back guarantee I believe... so you really don't have anything to worry about. -Novak - Original Message - From: "David Fafard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2003 6:22 PM Subject: Re: SSL Cert 40 bit or 128 bit > Well, I checked here: > http://www.verisign.com/products/site/secure/index.html > > got name brand I guess.. > no difference in compatibility going with > geotrust or instantssl ? > > Thanks, > Dave Fafard > > > - Original Message - > From: "Jeff Garza" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2003 7:43 PM > Subject: RE: SSL Cert 40 bit or 128 bit > > > > $500 More???
