| Comodo Expands its Set of Automated SSL Provisioning Tools Comodo announces new additions to its set of automated SSL provisioning tools to simplify the SSL deployment process for the majority of servers used by online merchants. The new tools provides process automation efficiency for key functions including private key generation, creation of CSR (Certificate Signing Request) and even auto installation of SSL certificate. The new automation tools have been developed for both Apache and IIS (6.0) servers, which represent the vast majority of servers in the market. Deployment of an SSL certificate entails a rigorous and precise deployment process which can be a challenge for eMerchants who only install a new SSL certificate occasionally. The new Comodo Automated tools make SSL deployment easier because it both speeds up the process and helps customers avoid commonly made errors that could delay the installation process. Comodo developed specific tools to meet the server specifications of Apache and IIS 6.0 servers. The automation process to support Apache servers include auto generation of the private key, creation of the CSR automatically and the ability to automatically collect the certificate. This auto process is delivered to customers in one file for simpler and faster deployment. For IIS 6.0 servers, Comodo provides free software that will enable a virtual one-step process to automatically generate the private and public keys, automatically create the CSR, collect the certificate and automatically install it onto the server - all by just a simple login into a customer's account. These new auto-requestor tools are available on the website today for eMerchants, affiliates and resellers (these tools will be available for web hosts shortly) and are all available in addition to Comodo's patent-pending EV AUTO-Enhancer - Automatic Deployment and Maintenance Technology . This proprietary technology has a number of key benefits unmatched by any competitor; it eliminates manual EV SSL deployment in most cases; increases the percentage of IE7/WinXP users who will see the EV green bar; it eliminates browser errors if the Windows Auto Root Update facility has been disabled. The two new auto SSL installation tools in combination with the EV AUTO-Enhancer technology are designed to help customers reduce the cost and complexity of SSL certificates deployment. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
