Security

Using Secure Socket Layer (SSL)

130 May, 2005 Merchant User Manual and Integration Guide

Using Secure Socket Layer (SSL)

If you have contracted with a third-party hosting provider to operate your Web site, PayPal

recommends contacting your provider to find out if you already have SSL capabilities or if

you need to have SSL installed. Most hosting providers can activate SSL for your hosting

account.

If you are operating your own Web server, you will need to acquire and install your own SSL

certificates.

The following information and resources may be useful for those wishing to implement SSL

on their own Web servers.
