Comodo Announces Unified Communications Certificates

Comodo has announced the availability of Unified Communications certificates for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. These new certificates enable enterprises using Exchange Server 2007 for their messaging infrastructure to use a single SSL certificate to secure multiple fully qualified domain names on a single host/IP address. UC certificates are a more cost effective solution than single certificate purchases and help simplify management processes by allowing server administrators to consolidate all of their secure domains onto one certificate.

Comodo UC certificates allow multiple hostnames to be entered in the subjectAltName extension of an X.509 certificate which means Exchange Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 customers can secure up to 100 FQDN's on a single IP address. Such functionality is particularly beneficial to enterprises with large Exchange Server 2007 installations spread across multiple domains and servers that need to deploy SSL security on all SMTP, POP/IMAP communications.

For example, one UC certificate can be used to secure the following Exchange Server 2007 domains:
- mycompany.com;
- owa.mycompany.com;
- mail.mycompany.com;
- smtp.mydomain.com;
- autodiscovery.mycompany.com;
- mail.mycompany-internal.com.
