We have a Server 2008 server behind a firewall with port forwarding (80, 8080, and 443). We are running an E-business site that is intended to go Live in a few days. We ahve purchased an SSL cert from GoDaddy.<br />
<br />
In setting up the Cert for E-biz, should the WAN address of the sonicwall be the A record for the Ebusiness site, and the certificate installed there?<br />
<br />
Should a self-assigned certificate be installed on the server?<br />
Should the server and sonicwall be members of the domain &quot;example-ebiz.com&quot;<br />
there are no internal DNS servers for this host. <br />
Should I install DNS on this host server and register with the &quot;.com&quot; domain hosted by Godaddy?<br />
<br />
I am somewhat familiar, I just dont want to mess this up.<br />
Thank you for your time and Knowledge.

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
