---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Steve Sheetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 8:48 AM Subject: Re: [sage-support] Re: Expired security certificate, < https://www.sagenb.org/ > To: William Stein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: sage-support@googlegroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The UW has its own Certificate Authority that can issue a signed (by the UW) certificate. The drawback to using this UW cert is that browsers have to add the certificate manually. If the certificate were issued by a globally-accepted authority such as Thawte, browsers would automatically accept the cert. The UW cert is free. A Thawte cert costs $249 US/year, $449 US/2 years, or $699 US/3 years.

Especially since the warnings about unofficial certificates seem to get much more scary in Firefox 3. Does anyone know what one of those would cost for sagenb.org? I'm sure I could get one for free through University of Washington. I am -- however -- too busy to do so. I'm cc'ing this message to sage-uw and the math sysadmin, in case anybody on the local list wants to give this a shot. The issue is just getting a cert certificate for a completely standard apache-ssl server running on a Linux server.
