Note

UltraCart purchases the EssentialSSL from Comodo, which is by far the easiest to obtain and easier to manage renewals.  EssentialSSL certificates are domain validated certificates which only require an email Domain Control verification step. 

Info
titleTurn off Privacy Services

PLEASE NOTE: If you have a privacy service turned on for your domain name, you will need to temporarily turn it off in order to complete the Domain Control Validation step. Once you have received the DCV email and complete the validation step, you can turn the privacy service back on.



All other Comodo certificate types are organization validated which will require:

  • DNS Control Email Verification (example DCV email notification)
  • Documentation to validate the address (utility bill, etc.)
  • Public telephone listing (with callback verification)

If your e-commerce organization is new, go the EssentialSSL route.  In future years you can upgrade to an organization validated certificate once your documentation, (phone number publications, etc.) are all established.

Optionally, you can purchase one of the organization validated certificates from Comodo directly and import it as a 3rd Party Certificate. Organizational certificates take substantially longer to issue and require validation paperwork from your company along with a verification phone call made to the phone number you have listed on either yp.com or superpages.com. You will need to be able to provide paperwork (such as articles of incorporation, utility bills, etc.) that show an address that matches the address on your certificate request and DNS WHOIS record. If you have any type of domain privacy features active on your DNS WHOIS it will increase the issuance time and paperwork. 

For this option, see "3rd Party SSL Integration" below for how to purchase and configure your third party SSL.

You'll obtain the CSR by clicking the "Download CSR" button. You will need to provide this document to the certificate authority that you are purchasing from. While purchasing the certificate you may be asked for a server type. Select  Apache (Apache/Mod_ssl) for the server type.
