Pretty much. Just be aware that depending on the domain they may require you to do some additional authentication to prove you're entitled to request the cert - usually it's inserting a DNS record. I think if it's a .com/net/org you'll be OK as they have a tech/admin contact in the WHOIS.
The only other thing to be aware of is that the GoDaddy certs require an intermediate cert to be installed, but they issue a "bundle" which contains everything you need in one file. Oh, do look at resellers, they're cheaper than buying direct from GoDaddy usually. ________________________________ From: Cameron [[email protected]] Sent: 06 December 2011 8:15 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Certificate question Good afternoon all, Having never ordered a certificate before, I really don't want to screw it up. I need to install a couple of certificates on a new VPN device and do have a GoDaddy cert waiting to be assigned. So...I'm guessing that A) I need to generate a CSR from the device itself for the two that I need (again guessing that I should use 2048 bit instead of 1024 bit?), B) send those CSR's to GoDaddy and wait for them to send me the Certificates, C) Install the certificates on the VPN device. I'm guessing that the certificates will be installed in the "Device Certificate" portion? (options are...Device, Trusted Client, Trusted Server (which does show GoDaddy listed), Code-signing, Client Auth) As always...TIA!
