Question : Quick Books Merchant Service Integration

Hey Guys,

I am integrating Quick Books with a website for online payment processing.
I am running into trouble.

Quick Books wants me to create a Client SSL, I don't know how to make it possible, because I have SSL on that website already that is by Thawte

Hi,

the SSL certificate you have on your server is the very common server certificate and it basically assures the authenticity of the server to clients.

While not as known, a second type of SSL certificate for clients, refered to as client certificate, also exists and it's purpose is to assure the authenticity of *clients* (or users) to the server. This certificate contains personal information about the user and identifies the SSL client (the sender) to the server.

I believe it is this second type of certificate that Quick Book is asking for.

As an example, here is a Microsoft knowledge base article on how to generate a client certificate: http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/052d2ea9-586c-4e33-9c56-ecc0c2b203be1033.mspx?mfr=true

Hope this helps!
