Hi Rob, I believed this topic was posted here before. Below was my response. You may want to query the archive list for 
more info on this topic. Also, in my email below is the email from the vendor stated that you can have free wildcard 
cert too. My webmail cert works fine with safari, firefox, ie and konqueror.

We've been using their certs since last year and they work great on both IIS and Apache. Wildcard is free for edu 
according to the response that I got last year from their tech support. You can check out our webmail ssl site below, 
we also use their ssl for our webdav connection. The process to get the cert is fast too. Vuong

Anyone using these folks or know anything about them:

They also advertise wild card certs with no limit
on hosts for $276.00/year.

Subject: [SECURITY] ipsCA and free .edu certs


Hi folks,

It was recently brought to my attention that ipsCA offers free 2 year
256 bit SSL certificates for educational institutions (in the .edu
domain).  Does anybody have any experience with them?  I note that their
root cert is bundled into Firefox, but does anyone know  about IE or
Safari?  Is there a limit to the number of certificates? 

Thanks,
Rob
