visioncomputing Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Do I need a separate SSL cert for www.domain.com and domain.com? My host has an automated CSR generator and it asks if I need the SSL for www.domain.com or domain.com. If I only buy for one of them, will the other not be secure? Thanks in advance.

I beleive that it does not matter. On my site I bought my SSL for www.discountmagazinehouse.com You can use discountmagazinehouse.com and when you log in it will go to https://www.discountmagazinehouse.com Jeff www.discountmagazinehouse.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaseldog13 Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 If you buy your cert for yourdomain.com, www.yourdomain.com will generate an error while browsing saying the certificate does not match the site name good luck. I'm dying on the vine trying to get SSL to turn on in osC!

Depends on WHICH TYPE you by. By Site (https://www.mysite.com or https://mysite.com or https://store.mysite.com or https://www.store.mysite.com - each one is differnt), or you may buy one that is by Domain (<anything here>.mysite.com like all listed in above example). Most other things are FUFF (IMHO) to do with strength (you should ONLY get 128 bit) and extras like a "SITE SEAL" and how they verifiy your IDENITY and such. BTW - you can do a "self signed" SSL for FREE (good for test servers and localhost backup ect) but is not trusted by the browser - manual install to trust.
