single root means that the certificate you get is directly trusted by a certificate that is in most browsers. lots of other cheap certs have to use an intermediate certficiate authority to get to a directly trusted cert (which isn't very hard to setup, but a pain none the less). if you get a cert for www.pdxlinux.org, then all urls using www.pdxlinux.org would be protected. you can also use the cert for smtp, pop, imap, ftp, etc for the hostname www.pdxlinux.org. the cert will not protect a url with just pdxlinux.org in the url. the certs from godaddy require the intermediate cert, but are setup to work for both the www.domaim.com and domain.com formats. i've been poking at rapidsslonline to add that feature in, but haven't gotten any buy in from them yet. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
