Two new SSL deployment technologies that will revolutionize the way hosting companies provision SSL Certificates to hosting customers, "AutoCSR" and "One-Click SSL", have been announced today by the SSL Certificate security specialist, GlobalSign Inc (http://www.globalsign.com ). The new technologies award hosting companies unparalleled degrees of automation during the SSL application, approval and installation processes.
If hosting companies are to offer SSL to customers of all technical levels without having to handle unwanted, and expensive, customer support issues, automation of the SSL Certificate lifecycle (CSR generation, application, approval and Certificate installation) is essential. Such issues include customers needing assistance with CSR generation, approval processes and Certificate installation. The level of automation offered through GlobalSign has not been achieved by no other SSL Certificate provider.
A GlobalSign survey highlighted that generating a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) remains one of the consistent problem areas faced by customers wishing to secure their server. Regardless of technical expertise, the process for CSR generation still requires customers to follow complex server commands.
GlobalSign, with Auto-CSR, has removed the need for end customers to create the CSR file themselves. Removing this step significantly reduces support requests such as "What is a CSR?", "How do I create it?", and "What details should be in it?" As a result, partners can expect fewer support calls, less abandoned orders and a greatly increased SSL Certificate delivery speed. Auto-CSR can be used with all web server types and control panels and is available to all GlobalSign Partners.
