Overview
GeoTrust QuickSSL Manager is an application designed to streamline—and in most cases, completely automate—purchase, installation and renewal of GeoTrust certificates. The tasks you can perform in GeoTrust QuickSSL Manager (and those you cannot) differ depending upon the type of domain you are working with. The different levels of support are listed below.
Primary Domain
Your primary domain is the domain associated with your control panel (e.g., example.com). GeoTrust QuickSSL Manager provides full support for your primary domain certificate; in other words, you can purchase, install and renew the certificate all from within the user interface.
Third-Level Domain (Primary)
A third-level domain of your primary domain points to a subdirectory of your primary domain. For example, if your primary domain is example.com, you might have a third-level domain called code.example.com that points to the directory, example.com/code. GeoTrust QuickSSL Manager provides full support for third-level domains of the primary domain; however, if you choose to install a third-level domain certificate, doing so will overwrite the primary domain certificate (assuming you purchased and installed one).
Sub-Domain (Primary)
A sub-domain of your primary domain, like a third-level domain of your primary domain, points to a subdirectory of your primary domain; for example, you might have the sub-domain example.org pointing to the example.com/code directory. GeoTrust QuickSSL Manager supports the purchase of sub-domain certificates, but not the installation of them.
Parked Domain
A parked domain is a pointer to your primary domain. For example, you might create a parked domain called example.org that points to your primary domain, e.g., example.com. GeoTrust QuickSSL Manager supports the purchase of parked domain certificates, but not the installation of them.
Offsite Domain
GeoTrust QuickSSL Manager supports the purchase of offsite domain certificates only for domains which are hosted on servers that support the Apache + SSLeay platform. Installation of such certificates is not supported.
For information on installing and configuring your certificates, please see the GeoTrust User Guide available from the GeoTrust interface in your Control Panel.
