Question : What are the pros and cons of applying Windows 2003 server certficate or Verisign certificate for MOSS application?

We have a 5 server MOSS farm with 2 WFE"s configured with Virtual IP in NLB for load balancing.
We are planning to apply SSL on the intranet sites configured with managed path.. .But the point is that the applications are already being used and SSL has to applied on applications already in production...
How can we apply SSL to multiple applications?We ahve port80 with Alternate access mapping.If we get this done with SSL port 443,how can we bind SSLcertificate to another application on same server with port 90?Can we apply same 443 to port 90 also?If yes, how?If no,then how?
Also I would like to know if we should be using windows server 2003 certificates or Verisign?What are the pros and cons of each certificate type for MOSS applications.Is verisign having any known limitations for applying on MOSS applications?

Hi,

sorry I was on vacation and had no time to answer your question. If you still waiting for a answer I can drop you some lines on Tuesday.

Just one thing: you only need SSL if you want to encrypt the HTML-Stream esp. Username and Password. If you are using BasicAuthentifiaction or FormBased Authentification you have to encrypt the stream or somebody can read the value with an http-Sniffing tool.

If you have only a intranet web, than only intranet users can sniff to trafic of others - althought all companies I know wopuld use SSL..
