eGullet Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I know that Invision currently supports basic SSL certificates in their Community in the Cloud offerings. Considering that we are now asking people to input their credit card information directly in our sites (at least for some payment methods) it would be REALLY nice to offer Extended Validation certificates so that our donors/purchasers can be confident that their connection is both encrypted and authenticated. I teach computer security classes and my advice to students is to never enter financial information unless they see the green bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, but that's not problem. It's just insecure content being served over a secure connection. and yes, I'm being sarcastic. For a long time that was what I was hearing (that it wasn't that important that the green lock show) until IPS finally got the ability to display both in a secure manner.

Management Lindy Posted November 10, 2015 Management Share Posted November 10, 2015 We can do EV certificates. As you likely know, the process is much more stringent and involved for EV certs and they're only available to properly registered organizations - so it's not something we promote by default. You are definitely welcome to contact us via a customer service request to discuss for your situation and we'll be happy to help you green bar.

MADMAN32395 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I personally use a Comodo RSA Domain Validation cert. Validate your domain and youre good (greenbar and such). IIRC still has the same amt of insurance as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Validate your domain and youre good (greenbar and such). IIRC still has the same amt of insurance as well. The padlock is not the same as the green bar (i.e.: https://www.invisionpower.com ) and the only way to get the green bar is with an EV certificate. DV is just basic domain validation - they send an e-mail to the WHOIS contact, the contact approves it and you've established you own the domain but nothing else. EV certificates require paperwork proving you're a legitimate, registered and valid organizational entity, have a presence and can be verified by D&B or via written certification from a professional such as your attorney or accountant.

eGullet Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Thanks, @Lindy -- for the record, I did ask sales about this, and was told you didn't offer it. Glad to hear that's not quite true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
