Also does anyone know of a good ssl certificate reseller program? Shaw Networks 03-01-2008, 12:02 AM Does anyone know how/where you can apply for Microsoft to recognize you as a certificate authority? Your question is a little unclear. Are you asking how you can issue your own SSL certificates? servmap 03-01-2008, 01:01 AM I read it as he want to be a root PAH - Tim 03-01-2008, 02:17 AM I read it as he want to be a root I have no idea what you mean by that, but... He does want to sign his own certs, but he wants to sell them to other people similar to Verisign, I think. But I think he wants to know how to become a Certified Certificate Authority. To stop those stupid, untrusted authority messages in browsers. Thats the way I see it anyways :stickout: ldcdc 03-01-2008, 08:22 PM I read it as he want to be a rootPerhaps you're confusing SSL with SSH? 040Hosting 03-02-2008, 08:28 AM Perhaps you're confusing SSL with SSH? No, he means a Root Authority (thats how its called if you are giving out SSL certificates yourself. (like the big guys). Everyone can start its own Root Authority for SSL certificates but its useless unless companies like Microsoft are adding you as the root authority to their browser. How to play that game; no idea, why not use an established root authority and resell their certificates ? Ben James 03-02-2008, 08:33 AM I think you need some form of insurace befor you can become a signed root authority. Also you would probably require your own server, and im sure there are lots of other conditions on reciving the root authority too. However this is just what i am thinking. Try and contact microsft directly? |
