CaCert support for ssl - tioan - 07-31-2007 10:19 PM
Hi,
for ssl support in ispcp Cacert will be a good solution because it support more than one Domain per IP with SubjectAltName. So we didnt need an ssl proxy or so to support ssl for every hosted domain, only an wrapper that use http://wiki.cacert.org/wiki/VhostTaskForce. I think the is better than every ssl proxy.

We're aware of free - certificates - but those you mentioned as well as some others are only supported by a minority of browsers.
Although in Germany 30+% use firefox/mozilla based browsers there're at 70% left with other browser where i guess that 65% is IE.
For the Rest of the World it looks equal.
For this website it looks a bit different - but i think its related to the fact, that most of us are somehow IT-related and have a natural annoyance against IE & co.
.But we can not ignore our Customers and their Customers....
Even officially Multisite Certificates are not supported by most Browsers ...
(or wildcard certificates etc...)
FYI Browser distribution on isp-control.net

This are support by most browser ( Ie Firefox Opera Safari and so one, and yes Cacert isn´t allready in the browsers, but you only need to import one time the cacert root cert and every cacert cert work without problems.) And i think one time import of certs is better then some ssl proxy

ssl proxy is the better way if you use some thirdparty trusted certificates...
do you know what a wildcard certificate of a trusted ca costs? too much!

This only sentence is the whole thing between "trusted" certificates and selfmade ones.
