I don't exactly hide the fact that I operate that site. The WHOIS points to me, it is on my signatures to this forum and others and plastered all over my blog, articles and postings about SSL certificates.

I am installing three or four of them a week both single name on Exchange 2003 and UC (aka SAN Subject Alternative Name) certificates for Exchange 2007 and 2010. They work fine. One of my customers has purchased over 300 of them for their clients, so they must also like them as well. It is a GoDaddy reseller account and uses the same root as the ones they sell. However it doesn't have the GoDaddy branding on them, and I am aware that over in the USA the GoDaddy name has somewhat of a reputation based on the founder's activities and his marketing methods. Therefore people like to use this source as they get the same wide levels of trust for the certificates but without that association. The "www.safebuy.org.uk<http://www.safebuy.org.uk>" org are simply reselling Verisign (or one of their brands), or RapidSSL certificates. I don't see unified communications certificates listed, which probably means they wouldn't know what they are and would simply sell you either a single name or a wildcard certificate instead. While both of those can be used with Exchange 2007 and higher, it does make extra work and can cause the occasional issue. The only difference in SSL certificates is the level of trust in browsers and devices, and the insurance cover. At this level insurance cover isn't really going to be much - although recent events might cause people to rethink on that. Most of the major certificates are trusted by IE, Firefox etc, but if you are using mobile devices then the number of root certificates that they have will be smaller. I don't think I would call that "quality" though.

Sean Rector, MCSE From: Spencer Read [mailto:[email protected]]<mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> Subject: OWA Cert Hi there, I've got a cert that is about to expire on our exchange 2003 server and I'm looking at going to www.certificatesforexchange.com<http://www.certificatesforexchange.com> to get a UCC cert Then I take a cold call from a UK based reseller called www.safebuy.org.uk<http://www.safebuy.org.uk> The person said 'The price is a little more than what you have been quoted elsewhere but the chances are the quote is so low because of poor quality of the certificate.' Price is double and only for a single domain, whereas the one I've been looking at is for up to 5 domains! I'm sure I remember certificatesforexchange being mentioned here so can anyone comment on the above? This is only being used for iPhone/HTC phone synchronisation and rare use of OWA so I don't see any issues - or am I missing something obvious? --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
