I'm thinking of buying a wildcard SSL cert from clickSSL :
http://www.clickssl.com/rapidssl/rapidsslwildcard.aspx
That would be a rapidssl certificate, and I was looking into my firefox options to see if RapidSSL is in the list of recognized Authorities. My certificate manager doesn't mention RapidSSL anywhere.
Am I looking for the wrong name, e.g. is rapidssl recognized by browsers under a different name? I want to be sure that this certificate is working in all major browsers (including IE6)
I wish I could find a site that uses a RapidSSL certificate, but according to what I read they are under the "Equifax Secure CA" certificate root. That one seems to be in all the clients I use.
They don't have their own root certificate. It is a GeoTrust/VeriSign brand. But they are supported by all major browsers.
I would take a look at AlphaSSL for a budget certificate, as the Rapid/Verisign brands have mis-issued certificates in the past, go over to prontossl and let them know you have come from this site, and they'll give you extra discount as well
