apollo1 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) I heard something not long ago about Google and/or Firefox no longer trusting Symantec/Geotrust SSL certs. I am not sure if this is still the case, but I have my WHMCS configured to sell these certs through the MarketConnect module. Is this still a viable means to sell them, or is there currently an easier or more profitable way to sell basic SSL certs through WHMCS? I noticed the prices and selection for basic certs from ResellerClub aren't that great either. eNOM had some decent prices on RapidSSL, but I no longer deal with eNOM. Anyway, I haven't been keeping up with the latest on selling SSL certs through WHMCS so if anyone has any input it would be much appreciated!

steven99 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 GeoTrust, for at least rapidssl, changed to digicert (IIRC the name), which google / firefox do trust. With that said, paid SSLs are not as attractive as they were before Let's Encrypt came around and started a trend of free SSLs . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone interested, I found the following article which sheds a little more light. Apparently the main issue was that Google Chrome 66+ now distrusts any Symantec, GeoTrust, Thawte & RapidSSL certificate issued before June 1, 2016 (certs issues after this use the DigiCert PKI instead of Symantec's). The full article is at https://www.thesslstore.com/blog/symantec-re-issue-thousands-of-ssl-certificates-will-be-distrusted-tuesday/ Speaking of "The SSL Store", is anyone reselling SSL certswith them? They have a module for WHMCS, and you can sign up as a reseller for free. I don't know how their cost prices compare to MarketConnect. The nice thing with MarketConnect is you can also resell Weebly, and refill a single deposit account. Whereas if you used the SSL Store, you would have yet another deposit account to fill strictly for reselling SSL certs.
