I just realised that my reply yesterday only went to Ian and not the list; those pesky CCs again.

I spoke to the Management team at WMT this morning and we've decided to try this. AFAICT, Foxdog Studios use the Domain Validated Certificate for their main site and install it on their private server. Presumably this means that they have to name their Private webserver the same as their public one. Our idea is to register a new domain for the WMT, such as WMTGuide.com. We could then create a Domain Validated Certificate for that site and use that domain on our private network. Do you (or anyone else) know if we would have to have a live website on the Internet for the Doamin validation to work? I'm assuming that we probably do, but it would be nice if we didn't so that we can get away with paying for hosting. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2018-03-06 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
