GlobalSign SSL certificates

Wildcard SSL Certificate

A single SSL Certificate to secure multiple Web Sites Save time, administration and money by adding the Wildcard SSL option. Typically a standard SSL Certificate is issued to a single Fully Qualified Domain Name only, which means it can only be used on the exact domain (including sub-domain) to which it has been issued. With the Wildcard SSL option activated you easily get around this restriction by receiving a SSL Certificate issued to *.domain.com. The * character replaces a "fixed" sub-domain with a "variable" one.

Notes: There are no limitations on how many sub-domains can be created and secured by a single Wildcard SSL Certificate. Make sure you create a CSR with a common name of *.yourdomain.com.

Intranet SSL / Subject Alternative Names (SANs)

The Intranet option allows you to specify Subject Alternative Names (SAN) within the certificate. Browsers recognize that the certificate can be used on both a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) such as www.domain.com and SANs such as "localhost" or "exchange5542". This ensures that SSL can be used successfully across your entire internal network / intranet.

Public IP SSL Certificate

Secure a Public IP Address with a GlobalSign SSL Certificate Typically a SSL Certificate is issued to a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) such as www.domain.com. However some organizations need a SSL Certificate issued to an IP address. This option allows you to specify an IP address as the Common Name in your Certificate Signing Request. The issued certificate can then be used to secure connections directly with the IP address, e.g. https://123.456.78.99.

Notes: Only Public IP Addresses may be used. You must be the owner of the IP Address as per records held at RIPE. Make sure you create a CSR with a common name of your IP address, e.g 123.456.78.90.

Customize SSL Certificate

Customize the Start Date and / or End Dates of your SSL Certificate Bring all your SSL Certificates into line and have them co-terminating on the same day. This option allows you to set a Start Date and an End Date within the validity period of the certificate. For organizations that wish to dictate a time period, e.g. a week, in which all certificate renewals must take place, specifying a End Date will ensure the Administrators commit to this activity. Furthermore, setting a Start Date allows SSL Certificates for future projects to be applied for, paid for and issued now, but will not become valid and usable until the chosen Start Date has been reached.
