Why use an Intranet SSL on Internal Network Servers? CA/Browser Forum (CA/B) does not allow Public CAs to issue Public SSL Certificates to Private Internal Networks. So, internal/private Servers have to use SSL Certificates from non-public CAs. SecureNT issues Intranet/non-Public SSL Certificates using non-Public Root Certificates.
CA/Browser Forum (CA/B), the regulatory body that governs the SSL industry, does not allow Public CAs to issue Public SSL Certificates to Private Internal Networks covered under IETF RFC 1918.
So, internal/private Servers have to use SSL Certificates from non-public CAs or Self-Signed Certificates.
Of course, some of these Public CAs do issue Intranet/non-Public SSL Certificates using non-Public Root Certificates. SecureNT Intranet SSL does the same but offers it quickly and at a much more attractive price.
