What are the SSL certificate requirements?
Posted by Daniel on April 21, 2006
In order to use the SSL feature your site must have it's own static (dedicated) IP address. If you don't have a dedicated IP address, you will get the following error message when you access the SSL menu:
Could not execute your request
Details: You are not allowed to modify your SSL
Contact your web host for information on obtaining a dedicated IP address. Please note that some web hosts don't offer dedicated IP's, and hosts that do usually charge extra for this feature.
