Reselling SSL Certificates

Once an ISP has become a reseller partner, they can resell SSL Certificates to their customers following these simple steps.

Step 1: Proof of Organization >>

Reseller provides proof that the company or organization being enrolled has the legal right to conduct business under the name.

Step 2: Proof of Domain Name >>

Domain name registration must be verified against the organization name provided during enrollment. VeriSign can only issue a Secure Server ID to the organization that has the legal right to use the domain name.

Step 3: Generate a CSR >>

Follow the instructions that came with the ISPs server software to generate a key pair and a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). Key pair generation is the creation of the server's private and public keys.

Step 4: Submit CSR and Select Server Software >>

After creating your CSR, open the file (or e-mail) using a text editor such as Notepad, copy the CSR, and paste it into VeriSign's online enrollment form.

Step 5: Complete and Submit the Application >>

The ISP and the partner should be listed as the technical and billing contact. The corporate contact information should be that of your customer.

Step 6: Wait for Processing and Final Verification >>

VeriSign support will contact both the ISP and your customer if we need any additional information to complete the order.

Step 7: Install Your ID >>

When the Digital ID is approved, VeriSign will send it to the Technical Contact by e-mail. Make a backup copy and store it on a floppy disk, noting the date received. Store the floppy in a secure place. Install the Secure Site Seal on behalf of your customer or encourage them to do so.
