Domain Registrar's Privacy Service

[NewsArchive]

Hi All

I am about to try my hand at code signing with Comodo.

How do I make sure that the WHOIS database for our domain is up-to-date
and turn OFF domain registrar's privacy service? We do not look after
this domain. It is outsourced.

Cheers
Andre

Andre,

If the domain in question is the one in the email you use here, it would
appear not to be shrouded:

https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=eduadmin.com

Hi Jane

That would be it. But I ask you - what does this all mean and why is it
necessary? I am trying to get my head around what I am actually trying
to achieve here.

The phone number and email contact for the domain are part of the
system used to validate the authenticity of the certificate request.

Hi Lee

I have just realized that. And right now I am sitting with pretty
outdated data. Phone numbers and physical address have changed - we
have moved offices. Trying to get hold of our service provider to get
them to change that.

If everything is up to date the process can be fairly painless and
quick but if things aren't current, well, it gets PAINFUL!<g>

Just follow the steps outlined by our resident guru, Jane, and it can
be handled quickly.

Andre,

And if the budget allows get a 3 year certificate or you'll have to go
through this painful process next year. Unlike certs for you website
that can simply be renewed, code signing certs require the entire
process each time.

Definitely going for three years. I am too old to go through this every
year. It is enough having to simply renew all the Apple certificates
and then generate them for 30 [and growing] different mobile apps every
year.

I got a 3 year certificate recently and it was actually fairly painless.
The Dun & Bradstreet was out of date, but I updated it and got a call
from them couple of weeks later verifying the update. I ordered the
certificate at 10:06 AM November 10th and received it by 1:21PM on
November 12th. One email with info on the D&B thing and a phone
callback and that was it. I was quite surprised how easy it was! But I
have done this a few times before so I had my fingers crossed, knocked
on wood, and all that nonsense beforehand

Best regards,

Hi Lee

Just got hold of data support. Office only open Monday to Friday but I
have a direct number that will get the data in that record current. It
would have snookered us for sure. I see how it works now. Makes
perfect sense.

I have had a very good look at Jane's document - excellent stuff.

Cheers
Andre
