Re: SSL with CFMX

SSL is only between the client (web browser) and the server (IIS, Apache, etc.) so CFMX is not really a factor. Actually, I recall people having problems with InstantSSL and CFMX because the Sun JVM didn't have it listed as a cert authority (around Dec '02). That's why I tied it to CFMX. -Original Message- From: Howie Hamlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 11:23 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: SSL with CFMX Basically, SSL is only between the client (web browser) and the server (IIS, Apache, etc.) so CFMX is not really a factor.

RE: SSL with CFMX
I've used GeoTrust almost since they came out. Their retail of US$149 can be easily circumvented by going to http://rackshack.net and buying one for US$39. I used to be a GeoTrust reseller but with prices like that I abandoned the effort. You can get a cert issued and installed in about 10 minutes. Its pretty much totally automated so long as you have an email listed as admin or tech contact in the domain's registrar records. Even if you don't, they'll take certain others. All of this assumes you can install a cert on your server. If you don't have admin access to your server then the ISP may be in the driver's seat.

Actually, I recall people having problems with InstantSSL and CFMX because the Sun JVM didn't have it listed as a cert authority (around Dec '02). That's why I tied it to CFMX. For the most common use of SSL, to encrypt client connections to your web server, CFMX won't be an issue, since the web server will deal with the encryption and decryption of data sent to and received from the client. It may make a difference if you're using CFHTTP to talk to a server via SSL; in that case, the client (CFMX) needs to be able to verify the server certificate's chain of trust, so to speak.
