A CA Certificate
In order to use this option you will have to get a certificate from a known Certificate Authority (CA). Some CA examples are GoDaddy, VeriSign, Thawte, GeoTrust and Network Solutions.
The CA will ask you for a "certificate request". Create one following the next steps:
Go to the Thinfinity VirtualUI Server 'General' tab.
Press the 'Edit' button on the binding you wish to change the SSL certificate.
Press the 'New' button and the 'Create a certificate request' button.
