When configuring an SSL certificate, the following points should be considered:
Selection of the right certificate type: There are several types of SSL certificates such as Domain Validation, Organization Validation, and Extended Validation. The type of certificate depends on the user's requirements and needs.
Verification of domain ownership: It must be ensured that the applicant has full control over the domain for which the certificate is issued.
Matching the Common Name (CN): The Common Name of the certificate must match the domain of the web server for which it is issued.
Installing on the correct server: The SSL certificate must be installed on the correct web server to ensure a secure connection.
Verification of the certificate's integrity and authenticity: It must be ensured that the certificate has not undergone any changes and was issued by a trusted certification authority.
Regular monitoring of the certificate: The certificate must be regularly monitored to ensure that it is valid and not expiring. InterSSL.com automatically sends email reminders, days and weeks before your SSL certificates are about to expire.
