You can get an SSL certificate only if you are already
in possession of a server box. In order for us to identify this box,
and therefore which box to assign the SSL certificate to,
when you click on the "Order form" link below an authentication window
will pop up (provided you are not logged in already) where you can
enter the necessary data.
You are required to log in as the user "bigboss", with the password of
the "bigboss" account in the server box you would like the SSL certificate for.
To protect your password we switch to SSL encryption
before any data gets exchanged.
Please note that we do not have your server box
passwords in any of our databases. We just check the
information you enter with the authentication system of your own
box. This implies, however, that in order to log into our system
your box needs to be up and running, and reachable over
the Internet.
For us to learn which box you would like the SSL
certificate for you are required to provide the user name in the form
bigboss@u????.c??
That is, after the user name "bigboss" we need the first two components of
the original domain name of your server box. In case you forgot the name
you can look it up in the file '/box/cfg/hostname'. Just replace the
question mark placeholders in the example above with the actual numbers.
After this authentication step you can proceed with
ordering the SSL certificate.
