I would suggest going with any reputable, long-running provider. Most
domain registrars offer SSL certificates either from them or licensed from
a recognized firm. For most cases, buying a SSL cert from your current
registrar is fine (and helps to consolidate your billing).

If price is a concern, there are ways to get certificates for cheap. If you
represent an open source project, you can get a free certificate
https://www.globalsign.com/ssl/ssl-open-source/. There are occasional
sales throughout the year (usually on major holidays) that you can watch
out for. StartSSL supplies free certificates http://www.startssl.com/,
but you need to pay if you want subdomain support
http://www.startssl.com/?app=2.

Assuming your domain is registered with Google Apps: log into your Apps
administrator account, then open the Apps admin console. Go to the Security
section, and open up the *SSL for Custom Domains section*. Enter in your
application ID under the *Custom SSL Setup* heading, then click the button
marked *Enable SSL for App Engine Applications*. From there, you'll see the
screen from my previously-posted screenshot.

You'll have to select which SSL type to use (SNI or VIP) and I strongly
suggest you read up on the differences
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/ssl#choosing_an_ssl_type before
you make a decision http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication.
Make sure you have billing enabled as well. You'll also need to supply
certificate information, so either have your certificate ready to be added
or buy one from Godaddy http://www.godaddy.com/ssl/ssl-certificates.aspx,
StartSSL https://www.startssl.com/, Verisign
http://www.symantec.com/verisign/ssl-certificates, or your preferred
vendor.

I have confirmed with Google that you can just check the 5 for $9 box on the 
sign up page and proceed.  You will not be charged, as you get the first 5 for 
free.  That page needs to be updated.  I checked that box and completed the SNI 
sign up, and was not charged.

FYI, we still get about 4% of our visitors who are unable to use the SNI SSL.  
We patch that by sending them the the appspot urls for the site.  We are hoping 
that since MS dropped XP support, that the number will drop off soon enough.  
For our small sites, $500 per year for VIP was a deal breaker.

 You're looking at outdated information. SNI SSL is free (you just need to
 supply the certificates provided by a third party, which may cost money).
 If you want a virtual IP (VIP) to go along with SSL, you need to pay
 $39/per VIP/month. The major difference between the two is that some older
 clients (such as Android 2.x units) don't support SNI and require VIP SSL.

 You can use a self-signed cert if you want (
 https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/ssl#certificate_requirements),
 but it's better to get a certificate from a trusted company such as
 Verisign. If price is a factor, there are occasional sales on certificates
 that you can wait for.

[google-appengine] Confused about pricing for SSL

2014-06-07 Thread Harald Humml
Hello,

I´m a little bit confused about the pricing model for SSL on GAE.

On the following page it is stated that the cost for SSL/VIP is 39 USD (5 
certificates): https://developers.google.com/appengine/pricing.
On this page I´m getting the information that VIP costs 99 USD per 
month: https://support.google.com/a/answer/2644336?hl=de.

So my question is: what cost information is right? And: is it correct that 
I also need to an official certificate from verisign (just for an example), 
or can I use my own certificates generated with openssl when I use VIP?

Harald
