Overview

While building a website ordered by a client, I needed to install an SSL certificate. This post summarizes the steps I followed at that time.

Prerequisites

Since free SSL or self-signed SSL certificates raise security concerns, I decided to obtain a certificate from thawte, which issues SSL certificates with a high market share.
I also obtained the client’s approval regarding the cost.

thawte

thawte is the world’s second largest certificate authority by market share, providing various server authentication and code signing certificates to customers around the world.

ToDo

  1. Check the domain owner information with WHOIS
  2. Confirm the DUNS number held by the client
  3. Issue a CSR
  4. Apply for SGC Super Certs
  5. Install the SSL certificate

Steps

1. Check the domain owner information with WHOIS

WHOIS displays the owner information for the domain you search.
Save this information.
It will be used later when issuing the CSR.

2. Confirm the DUNS number held by the client

3. Issue a CSR

4. Apply for SGC Super Certs

5. Install the SSL certificate
