LCOD – 9.20.07 – Palm Hardware: Windows Software: GoDaddy Cert.

While this isn’t actually a Linux tip, it’s for people who are savvy and buy $19/yr GoDaddy SSL Certificates instead of the $249/yr ones from Verisign.

Both do the SAME encryption, neither do much to actually verify you are who you claim.

So, you installed a GoDaddy SSL cert on your mail server, and your Windows on Palm users get certificate errors whenever they try to hit your webmail on SSL or normal mail on SSL.

The GoDaddy certificate repository, here has the root and intermediate certificates you need, but they’re in the wrong format!

You need to use OpenSSL to convert them.

I’ve converted them into DER already, the two you need for a new GoDaddy cert are here

Copy these to your desktop or laptop where you activesync to your Windows Palm phone.
Once they’re on your phone, simply click on them and it will prompt you to install them, say yes and you’ll be ready to go ssl!

enjoy
