About IP Address Application for SSL Certificates
Does an SSL Certificate Associated with an IP Address Needs to Be Approved?
Yes.
The application process is the same regardless of whether an SSL certificate is associated with a domain name or an IP address. The SSL certificate must be applied for and approved by the CA before it can be used.
The application process is as follows: Purchase a certificate → Apply for a certificate → Verify the domain name → Verify the organization (required only for OV, OV Pro, EV, and EV Pro certificates) → Issue a certificate.
The difference is that the domain name verification of an SSL certificate associated with an IP address supports only verification by file.
What Is the Domain Name Verification Method for an SSL Certificate Associated with an IP address?
The domain name of an SSL certificate associated with an IP address can be verified only by file. Therefore, when applying for a certificate, select File for Domain Name Verification Method for SSL certificates associated with IP addresses.
