will need to be the administrative contact on the domain and you will need a
D-U-N-S number from http://www.dnb.com (Dun & Bradstreet). If you go to
http://www.verisign.com you can start applying for the SSL. Hint: Make sure
the name of the company, the registrant of the domain, and the name specified in
IIS all match exaclty. Another thing instead on specifying US Company as a
category on the Verisign site you should specify Online Merchant.... believe ME
it will make your life easier!!!!!

I had a REAL Pain-in-the-xxx time with IE 3.0 on NT 4.0. Ended up having to
download a hotfix and doing stuff from the command line. All because I was
using 128bit security. I don't know if this process is easier/harder under
Win2k though.

Isn't there any other company that issues these certificates?

find but SSLs can be purchased through Verio or Verisign.

4, you can set yourself up as a certificate authority. Issue your own
certificate.
Here's why you usually wouldn't want to do this for credit-card transactions
from an on-line store...
Your users' browsers are preloaded with certificate authority info.
Hitting your ssl site their browser will immediately give them an error
message to the effect that the issuer of the certificate is an unrecognized
authority.
(Under MS IE, at least, they have the option of adding the new authority at
this point).
At this point, your average user is going to bounce from your site to go
shop elsewhere...
( for an example of what this will do, try going to this address:
https://secure.csnsys.com )
If cost for a certificate is a concern, check out THAWTE,
http://www.thawte.com
They're less than 1/2 the price Verisign charges, and they're legit... about
35% or so of the e-commerce sites on the net use them now.
Where issuing your own certificates is a cool idea is working within your
own company or with established business contacts to set up secure
communications on one of your sites. In other words, you already have some
sort of a "trust relationship" established with the user at the other end,
where they would be comfortable with the idea of trusting you as a
certificate authority.

NOT have to have a D-U-N-S number.
( Sure, it helps, but not required)
I have set up several where I am the technical contact on the domain, and
there was no D-U-N-S number. D-U-N-S speeds up authentication, that's all.
The last setup I did was with THAWTE, and I was tech contact on the domain,
and had no DUNS for the company. It still was set up much faster than I was
with Verisign on my last account that had a DUNS number...
And Thawte did it for $125.00!

So if you have a merchant that does your transaction processing. You need
to do what? Setup a certificate for authority? If so could somen one give
me a step by step to set this up
