I finally took the plunge and bought an ssl certificate for my site, although I had no idea how confusing it would be to configure. I eventually got things straightened out, but I can't help thinking there must be a more straightforward way to secure a web site. I dread the switch to IPV6! Nice post.

They may or may not match any branding the CA markets their certificate signing service under. They will, however, match the common name of the CA's root certificate. All certificates signed by Go Daddy are signed by root certificates given in that list. The Google List is a list of the common names of certificates in their trust store.

I just left the following post in the Google Checkout integration forum on this exact topic. I need to buy an SSL cert for the API URL callback for Google Checkout. Go Daddy has great prices for certs that are in 99% of browsers. Google states that the "Go Daddy Class 2 CA" certificate is supported. However, all certs issued by Go Daddy seem to have an issuer of "Go Daddy Secure Certification Authority". I've checked several websites they've issued SSL certs to, and none of those certs have an issuer of "Go Daddy Class 2 CA". Is the "Go Daddy Class 2 CA" just a generic, marketing reference to the certs issued by "Go Daddy Secure Certification Authority"? As of this posting, I see two certs that Go Daddy sells. They are "Standard SSL" and "Premium SSL", but no details on the actual issuer. Will either of those certs work for the API URL callback? I used the Digicert tool to verify the various Go Daddy SSL certs I found. http://checkout.google.com/support/sell/bin/answer.py?answer=57856 http://www.godaddy.com/ssl/ssl-certificates.aspx?isc=sslqgo015b&ci=8979 https://www.digicert.com/help/ The post url: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/checkout-merchants/thread?tid=770925055e03e08b&hl=en Wow, over 3 years since your post and this is still a confusing issue.
