How do i manage my commercial ssl certificate using the aplus.net control panel?

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol designed to enable encrypted, authenticated connection across the Internet. SSL is used mostly in communication between web browsers and web servers. URL's that begin with 'https' indicate that an SSL connection will be used. Online shopping sites frequently use SSL technology to safeguard credit card information. In order to use the SSL protocol you need to have an SSL certificate which is used for the server authentication, data encryption, and message integrity checks. Commercial SSL certificates are issued by official Identity Assurance authorities as is the case with the certificate offered by Aplus.Net.

Here is how you can manage your SSL certificate using the Aplus.Net Control Panel:

Start by logging to the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration number and Customer password.
Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
Now, select the hosted domain name that you’d like to manage.
Click the Secure Server Certificate icon.

CERTIFICATE ORDER STATUS:

You will see your already purchased certificates in one of the following six statuses:
Awaiting Information Approval – our system is still verifying your personal data;
Scheduled for Revocation – the certificate was revoked and the plan will be closed;
Revoked – the certificate is already revoked and the plan will be closed;
Unable to be issued – the plan will be closed and the amount charged will be refunded;
Issued, Awaiting Installation – the certificate is already issued and is about to be installed;
Issued and Installed – the certificate is already installed on the hosting server.

MANAGEMENT OPTIONS:

Renew/replace - use this link button to order a new certificate. If you supply the same personal information for the new certificate, you will renew the existing certificate. On the other hand, if you change your personal information, you will actually replace your old certificate with the new one.
Revoke – use this link button to cancel your certificate order.

TRUSTLOGO:

A TrustLogo delivers your own real-time identity assurance verification to your web site visitors. The TrustLogo appears at the bottom right corner of your web pages. When clicked on, it displays in a new window your personal information specified during setup.

If you have purchased a TrustLogo in addition to your certificate, click on the corresponding install link and follow the instructions on the page. The tool will generate the required HTML code which you need to include in your web pages.
