How do we add a SSL cert to our admin site?

[2 Grey Star Level]

I will have a cert issued to us (forestgrove-or.gov) and need to know the specifics of installing it. Looks like we log onto our admin page and can have support walk us through the process. Becasue i need to tie the cert out to our domain name, I need to be very speciific when requesting it. generally they are for a specific server name, but not sure in this case. also, is there a charge for us to do this since we are providing the certificate?

Answer #1

You can request the install via Backstage at https://backstage.site5.com > Addons > SSL Certificate Installation. There’s a onetime $15 charge for the installation and renewals are free.

Answer #3

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking to confirm what domain name to use.

I would recommend that you use “www.forestgrove-or.gov”. You can then use an .htaccess file to redirect all non-www requests to use www.

I hope this information was helpful. If you have any other questions, please just let us know.

I wanted to take a moment and follow up by letting you know that in addition to supporting 3rd party SSL certificate providers, we now offer SSL certificates directly from within Backstage. We hope that this move will make it easier and more convenient for our users to add security to their website(s).
