easyDNS™ SSL Certificates

Step 1: Collect Relevant Documentation

Every True BusinessID certificate includes enrollment in GeoTrust's exclusive True Site authentication service to assure web site visitors of your business identity.

When you request a True BusinessID certificate, GeoTrust will verify the identity of the business entity responsible for the Internet domain name for which the certificate is requested. Before proceeding through the enrollment process, you should know what information you will need to provide in order for our team to complete the verification process.

You must make sure that the following items consistently match in order to have your server certificate order processed:

The Registrant listed in the InterNIC/WHOIS records for the domain name in question
The Organization appearing in your "Proof of Organization" documents or DUNS number
The Organization entered into the CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

After completing the enrollment process, please fax your Proof of Organization information and InterNIC record to 1-(866) 435-8452 or (858) 300-5306. Include your domain name and order ID number on the cover letter. If any of the above items do not match or are not submitted, the processing of your certificate request will be delayed.

Acceptable documents for Proof of Organization include:

DUNS number (Dun and Bradstreet)
Articles of Incorporation
Business License
Doing Business As (DBA) registration
Partnership documentation
Sole Proprietorship documentation

If you represent a Government Department, Non-Government Organization, or a University, then you should: E-mail us at support@geotrust.com or call us at: 1-866-436-8787

Note: All documents must be provided in English or with an English translation.

GeoTrust must receive all of your information before your order can be completed. Once you have submitted these documents, they will not be required again unless the organization or common name changes.

In addition, we may contact your state or local government to confirm that your organization is in "Good Standing".

What is a Dun and Bradstreet Number (DUNS)?

DUNS stands for "Data Universal Numbering System." It is a unique nine-digit numbering system that is used to identify a business. To find your DUNS number, please go to http://smallbusiness.dnb.com

If you do not have a DUNS number, you can get one for free by either calling 1-800-333-0505 or registering online at:

http://www.dnb.com/eupdate/dunsform/

If you complete the online DUNS application, it takes approximately one week before the information is reflected in the Dun and Bradstreet web site. You can usually get your DUNS number faster if you call the toll free number.

Step 2: Generate CSR

The CSR is the Certificate Signing Request provides information about your organization the domain for which you are purchasing a certificate. The CRS must be generated from the server from which your domain is hosted.

Note: If you have an ISP, they will generate this CSR file for you upon request.

Step 4: Install Your Certificate

How To Install Your Certificate

Step 5: Add the Seal

To install the True Site seal, simply add the following lines to each web page on which you want it to appear:


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="//smarticon.geotrust.com/si.js"></SCRIPT>


These instructions will retrieve your registration data from the True Site registry server and cause the seal to be displayed on your web page. Remember, the web page on which you place this True Site seal must use exactly the same domain that is in your enrollment application. For instance, if the enrollment is for www.example.com, then the True site registration is for that site, and does not include other fully qualified domains like www2.example.com.

FrontPage installation:

In order to properly install your True Site smart icon on your website using FrontPage you will need to follow one of the 2 procedures below. Otherwise FrontPage will change the HTML code for the True Site icon, causing the icon to function improperly.

Method 1

One way to add the Tag with Frontpage 2000 is as follows:

Open the html page (*.htm, *.html, *.asp, or whatever) and put the cursor where you want the icon to appear
In the main menu, choose Insert->Advanced->HTML... to open up the HTML Markup dialog
Paste the second line (the non-comment line) of the Tag into the dialog as shown below and click OK.
Save the file (in the menu File->Save, or press CTRL-S)

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="//smarticon.geotrust.com/si.js"></SCRIPT>


The opening and closing webbot comments seem to prevent "file:" from being added when the page is opened and then saved in Frontpage.

Method 2

The other way to essentially accomplish the same thing is to open the HTML source file in a text editor such as Notepad and add the webbot comment lines manually. Before the Tag, add:


And after the Tag, add:


So that your HTML source looks like:



<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript" SRC="//smarticon.geotrust.com/si.js">
