how to create Green lock SSL Certificate for website? - wordpress

i heard about Ev #SSL certificate more security for website and generated and installed free #SSL #Certificate but its not showing Name in Green Lock, anyone can help me ?

Currently, no one is providing EV SSL certificate at free of cost in the market. So the certificate which you have installed may be standard or basic ssl certificate.
Second thing is that, EV SSL certificate doesn't display name in the green lock but it displays your business / organization / company name in the browser next to green padlock. If you still have confusion regarding to understand between standard ssl and ev ssl certificate, then you should read this resource https://www.tech-wonders.com/2018/09/why-ev-ssl-is-better-compared-to-standard-ssl.html where you will find in detailed information about EV SSL & how it differs from the standard ssl.

Firebase cloud functions/ hosting ssl pinning

My payment gateway requires ssl certificate pinning for their payment gateway endpoint on my side.
Does Firebase support ssl pinning for cloud functions/hosting?
I can't find this information in the official documentation or anywhere else on the net.
Details published in the bank's technical requirements form:
Response URL and Port Number
Specify the Response URL and Port Number for us to send you payment notification.
SSL Certificate:
(To establish secure connection with your Response URL.)
The standard SSL certificate authority are Comodo or Versign.
Please upload the SSL Certificates for both environments that associate with the UAT and Production URL respectively.
SSL certificates can be in format of .cer or .crt or you may zip it in one zip file.
Note: Payment notification will fail to reach you if you provide incorrect SSL Certificate.
What is described here is a really strange requirement -- it sounds like they're telling you you have to provide them with the specific SSL certificate your site is running.
This is unrealistic for nearly all cases as SSL certificates expire after a year, and particularly unrealistic for Firebase Hosting where certificates only last for three months.
You should be able to download the certificate for your Firebase Hosting site (see e.g. this ServerFault question) and upload it to your bank, but the certificate is going to change approximately every two months.
I'd reach out to your bank and ask them more about this requirement, as it seems bizarre and unduly burdensome. Perhaps they are merely trying to ask for the root certificate in the trust chain? If that's the case, you can provide the Let's Encrypt root certificate and it should be fine for the time being (note: Firebase Hosting does not make a promise of keeping the same certificate authority indefinitely).

SSL Wild Card issue

We have used wild card subdomain to our web app running iis.it is working fine.Now we purchases ssl and implemented , it is working for https://www.xyz.domain.com or https://www.domain.com but did not work on https://domain.com.
Please help|||||
I assume your SSL certificate was issued for www.domain.com. Typically, when you purchase an SSL certificate that is "wild card", the CA puts two DNS names in the subject alternative name of the certificate. For you, it is probably www.domain.com and *.www.domain.com. It is unlikely that the certificate is issued for domain.com because it would not be valid for www.xyz.domain.com since wildcards only go one sub domain deep.
You need to work with your CA on getting the right kind of certificate. You need a certificate that is valid for domain.com, www.domain.com, and *.www.domain.com. There is nothing you can do to work around this other than get a new certificate with the correct SAN.

HTTPS and SSL certificate

I develop a website with Symfony2 and I put it in HTTPS.
I have several questions:
The only way to don't have an error message on my browser when I go to my website is to have an SSL certificate?
How the installation of the SSL certificate on a website works?
Verisign offers SSL certificates from 450€/year ( http://www.symantec.com/fr/fr/page.jsp?id=compare-ssl-certificates ). It's quite expensive. Is there other good solutions to have a cheaper certificate?
If your site is not shop or something commercial, you can get free cert at startssl.com
See awesome tutorail
(Installing certificate in nginx is almost the same with apache)
UPD
Now use letsencrypt :)
Certificates tell the client you can be trusted. Web browsers come loaded with trusted keys from third parties. Your browser checks the key of the cert coming in and if it is in the list it allows SSL connection (if the IP address in the cert etc is correct). This is why it costs as no doubt the cert providers have their own expenses to be added to browsers and to turn a profit etc.
You can of course produce you own certificate but they won't be recognised by your clients machine. The user then has to explicitly accept the cert - some browsers like chrome make this hard as it is a security risk.
Google should help you find the best cert deals from trusted providers.
Your hosting provider should be able to help you set up your cert. If your self hosting that should be its own question as it could have different answers depending on your set up.

SSL Certificate for multiple servers

I want to use same SSL certificate in multiple servers, which type of SSL certificate should I use? Unified SSL certificate? or Wildcard SSL certificate?
Thanks
Any certificate can be installed on multiple servers but your question requires more information on how you want to be advised.
A wildcard SSL certificate will secure any subdomain that the Wildcard character is on. So if you have a certificate for *.domain.com then you can secure
secure.domain.com
bob.domain.com
charlie.domain.com
and the list can go on, however it won't work for sub.secure.domain.com as the wildcard only does the single level.
A unified certificate, depending on the provider would only give you 3 subdomains.
mail, owa and autodiscover.domain.com
Also a standard certificate you can generally add SAN's too which will allow you to add subdomains under extra costs, but if you are only looking to secure 2 subdomains then a certificate with 1 SAN would be cheaper in most cases than a wildcard.
Give us an example of what you are trying to do and people can probably advise you better.
Securing Multiple Servers With One SSL Certificate
To move your certificate between servers you will need to install the certificate on the same web server that you generated the CSR from. You can then export the SSL certificate and its private key to a PKCS#12 file, or if it is an non-Windows based server you will be able to copy the key and certificate files.

Wildcard SSL Certificates allow you to secure multiple sub domains on the same domain name, thereby saving you time and money, and of course you do not need to manage multiple SSL Certificates on the same server.

SSL for Rest API

We are providing Rest API(ASP.NET on IIS7) and one of our customers asked for HTTPS. I do not have any experience with SSL and SSL certificates. Is it enough to buy SSL certificate and install it into IIS7 to get secure HTTPS connection? Do I need to make any modifications in Rest API(ASP.NET) code/config files?
please go through below links
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299875
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/144/how-to-set-up-ssl-on-iis/
Yes, we need first create a Certificate request and then we need to Submit that request to any of the Certificate Authority(CA). This may be your own server with Certificate Server 2.0 installed on it or an online CA such as VeriSign. Contact the certificate provider of your choice and determine the best level of certificate for your needs. After that you will get that certificate from that CA and then we need to install that in IIS.
