Symantec's Express Renewal feature eliminates the need to subimit a Certificate Signing Request, as shown here(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- IT security solutions provider Symantec (www.symantec.com) announced on Thursday it has added two new features designed to simplify the renewal process for SSL certificates.
Customers who have deployed VeriSign SSL certificates can fully automate the SSL certificate renewal process for up to six years. The new features make Symantec the industry's only certificate authority to offer this kind of renewal option to renew and manage SSL Certificates.
Symantec's Express Renewal feature eliminates the need to submit a Certificate Signing Request or re-install a VeriSign SSL certificate when it approaches renewal time.
Now when a certificate is up for renewal, the SSL customer automatically pays for a new validity period.
Secure Site Pro Certificates for up to six years for VeriSign Extended Validation SSL Certificates for up to two years.
To further automate the renewal process, Symantec's VeriSign SSL customers can activate the AutoPay Renewal Service upon their initial enrollment to ensure that SSL protection continues without interruption.
"With Express Renewal and AutoPay, Symantec has become the industry's only SSL Certificate Authority to eliminate the pain of renewing certificates," says Michael Lin, senior director of trust services at Symantec. "The features greatly reduce the possibility of unexpected certificate expirations -- and best of all, customers don't have to do a thing. Website operators now have the same flexibility to pay for 1-3 year terms but with added ease of management."
Express Renewal is available for free for VeriSign SSL and EV SSL customers who submit a minimum 2048-bit certificate signing request.
Customers can activate and deactivate AutoPay at any time, for any reason and without penalty, for the entire duration they hold their VeriSign SSL or EV SSL Certificate.
