    Is anyone here an SSL expert?

    I purchased (and tried to install via WHM) a SSL cert from ev1servers (AKA RackShack) which is provided through freessl.com, which I believe has something to do with geotrust.

    Anyways, when I go to install the starter SSL, the WHM submit button is greyed out half the time, when I want to submit!

    When I finally get something to submit, my browser gives this error:

    Could not verify certificate because issuer is not trusted.

    The listed "issuer" is my site/company. I don't understand how I can change this to be what it should be (Geotrust?).

    If anyone has any experience in this field, I woud be grealy appreciative.

      freessl.com... sounds like you just have a self-signed certificate and although your data will be encrypted it will not be verifyed as trusted by your browser.
      I don't endorse a god damn thing......

          SSL installs are buggy with WHM.. I always do it from SSH myself..

              (you can try it here:
              http://www.rapidssl.com/index_ssl.htm click the little earth logo, top right...)
              goes to a secure page without an "untrusted" certificate warning...

                      Your browser, by default, only trusts the major SSL ( GeoTrust, Thawte, etc ...)
                      But if the client checks the validity, he will see the site as secured.

                      I had installed for a client a SSL bought thru EV1 . I had many " date range" problem for most of the year.
                      It was up for renewal last week or so, and I took a godaddy one ( 19.99 / year ). Worked and got installed thru WHM in a few minutes! Just follow instructions to the letter.

                      I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

                      But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                          The URL gives warnings to my browser. The EV1 (freessl/geotrust) ones shouldn't do that.

                          Yours is issued through the right people (Starfield) though, mine is issued from my own domain, some how. I am not sure how this happened.

                              Mine is from EV1/freeSSL which is through GeoTrust.
