Free Online Digital Certificates

Free Digital Certificates

When we test SSL or Cab Files, if we have a digital certificate, then it would be a full-length testing. Check out the following websites that give free certificates:

1. http://www.ascertia.com/
2. http://www.cacert.org/

Just wanted to update. There is a tool called SSLDiagnostics from Microsoft Website. Here is a brief description from MSDN on this tool:

SSL Diagnostics Version 1.0 helps you identify configuration problems in the IIS metabase, certificates, or certificate stores when running Web sites that use SSL. This tool allows you to review SSL configuration information, simulate the SSL handshake to locate errors, or "hot swap" certificates for testing purposes -- http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/f2c980d6-a802-419f-9227-ab46f570c223.mspx

Here is the download URL for SSL Diagnostics:

1. x86 version: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=cabea1d0-5a10-41bc-83d4-06c814265282&DisplayLang=en
2. 64-bit version:  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=083d0066-d89d-4d95-90a9-6a94dd2bbc36&DisplayLang=en

I hope this would be very useful for developers of web applications whilst testing SSL-enabled applications.
