SSL OnDemand
Overview
Today, Web-enabled applications are the bedrock of your extended enterprise. They facilitate improved customer service and relationships; increase your employees' productivity; and allow you to make better business decisions, improve resilience and provide the mobile workforce with greater productivity avenues.
The low cost of "self-service" Web-based operations is fueling an increased reliance on Web applications. SSL is the standard protocol used to create secure, encrypted tunnels for your Web applications that provide data and application-level security.
Your corporate challenge is likely how to provide adequate security as you deploy, manage and maintain an increasing number of SSL certificates. Without a comprehensive way to manage SSL certificates across your entire organization, you chance encountering delays in deploying mission-critical Web-based applications, increasing your costs for securing the important applications and heightening your risks of security compromises.
Verizon Global Wholesale's SSL OnDemand service provides you with a high performance, immediately deployable, cost-efficient and managed public key infrastructure (PKI) solution for managing your multiple SSL certificates.
Description
Verizon SSL OnDemand lets you cut certificate costs, issue certificates immediately, customize your service, and dynamically build reports. Verizon Global Wholesale recognizes that your business, staff, technical architecture, and deployment schedules change – but your need to secure your applications doesn't. SSL OnDemand gives you the SSL certificates you need, when you need them, and provides pricing and administration that can adapt to your ever-changing business and technical requirements.

Features
- Discounted bulk pricing. If you manage as few as 5 certificates, save by choosing SSL OnDemand. As your certificate needs increase, so will your savings.
- Buy forward for up to 5 years. Our tiered discounts are much easier to access when you buy in advance and combine your expected certificate needs over the next few years. Carry over your remaining certificate balance for up to five years.
- Unlimited domain pricing. When you secure many servers that have names in the same domain, save even more by choosing our unlimited domain pricing. For one low annual fixed cost, issue as many certificates within one domain as you need.
- Free replacement certificates. Web servers crash, backup tapes get corrupted, and sometimes the useful life of a certificate ends before the certificate expires. Verizon will get you back up and running fast with a replacement certificate at no additional charge.
- Competitive transfer. Take advantage of our competitive transfer service to move all your certificates to a single administrator interface without losing any of the remaining life. Combine the remaining life on the certificate, plus the additional validity from ours. Resulting certificates can be valid for up to five years.
- Early renewal. SSL OnDemand lets you take control over lead times required for critical web server scheduled maintenance windows. Renew expiring certificates early and the remaining life is added to the new certificate.
- Dynamic reporting. Take control of certificate management with dynamic query-by-example reporting and custom output selection.
- Customized enrollment, better tracking. Customize your registration form.
- Administrative delegation. Limit privileges for restricted administrators. Delegate control of a domain or several domains, and the restricted administrator only sees and manages requests and certificates in those domains.
- Custom notifications. Each administrator can set their own notification preferences. An administrator that uses the SSL OnDemand service interactively all day can shut off notifications. Administrators that juggle many tasks can receive a notification when every new order arrives or a summary report every morning.
- Custom messaging. Configure the content of e-mail messages sent to requestors. Use our powerful data substitution feature that allows you to type any text you want while embedding data-driven details about the certificate or order. Customize order confirmation, certificate pickup, renewal reminder, revocation, and request denial messages.
- Built-in customer service. Request new domains, administrators and licenses, or submit questions and support requests without leaving SSL OnDemand. Our built-in customer service applet is installed in your dashboard. Every page in the dashboard has a help button, and when you click it you'll see the right page in our online administrator’s guide for the function you're using.
Our SSL OnDemand offering provides you with a complete certificate provisioning solution that gives your organization full control over certificate issuance, suspension and revocation and the power to quickly and efficiently issue certificates.
The service's Web-based registration authority (RA) capability lets your employees request certificates and empowers your accredited company administrators to directly manage the certificate requests with minimal fuss and technical know-how.
SSL OnDemand's secure Web-based management tool includes numerous other management tools such as:
- The ability to view upcoming expiration dates for certificates and plan for timely renewal to reduce last-second efforts
- Audit trails of all actions performed on your certificates
- Automatic e-mail notifications at 30-, seven- and one-day intervals prior to a certificate's expiration
- Comprehensive search functionalities on certificates and certificate signing requests
- Exportable certificate revocations list (CRL) files
- Statistics that quantify the number and types of certificates that you issue
SSL OnDemand's Certificate Administration Administrator’s Interface is user-friendly, provides detailed information that is easy to interpret and saves your IT administrator time in keeping abreast of your security needs and certificate demands/required actions.
