RE: Certificate question

[Paul Hutchings]

Pretty much.  Just be aware that depending on the domain they may require you 
to do some additional authentication to prove you're entitled to request the 
cert - usually it's inserting a DNS record.  I think if it's a .com/net/org 
you'll be OK as they have a tech/admin contact in the WHOIS.

The only other thing to be aware of is that the GoDaddy certs require an 
intermediate cert to be installed, but they issue a "bundle" which contains 
everything you need in one file.

Oh, do look at resellers, they're cheaper than buying direct from GoDaddy 
usually.

Good afternoon all,

Having never ordered a certificate before, I really don't want to screw it up. 
I need to install a couple of certificates on a new VPN device and do have a 
GoDaddy cert waiting to be assigned.

So...I'm guessing that A) I need to generate a CSR from the device itself for 
the two that I need (again guessing that I should use 2048 bit instead of 1024 
bit?), B) send those CSR's to GoDaddy and wait for them to send me the 
Certificates, C) Install the certificates on the VPN device.

I'm guessing that the certificates will be installed in the "Device 
Certificate" portion? (options are...Device, Trusted Client, Trusted Server 
(which does show GoDaddy listed), Code-signing, Client Auth)


As always...TIA!
Cameron
