The cert part is available clear text from your webserver simply by asking it for the security properties. This is not the part you want to secure. The private key should have stayed with you when you submitted the CSR. It's the combination of the private key (which you always keep secure) and the cert that makes the site secured and authenticated. There is no reason to transmit the cert SSL or otherwise encrypted. Otherwise, I'm happy to hear you've had a good experience. I have had the ability to resell the certs for some time now but haven't dared for fear of losing customers. I hope to hear more good stories about Entrust to build confidence. -Eric P. -- arctic bears - email and name services 25 email addresses@yourdomain CA$11.95/month DNS starting at CA$3.49/month - domains from CA$25.95/year for details contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://www.arcticbears.com
