+# SSL Certificates
+
+Almost every site we build should be accessed over an encrypted connection. To establish such a connection, your server will need to have an SSL certificate installed. The following guide will run through the steps to obtain and secure a domain with an SSL certificate.
+
+## Generating a Certificate Signing Request
+
+This step is only necessary if you're securing a domain for the first time, or if the existing certificate's private key is unavailable.
+
+Open a terminal, and run the following command:
+
+```shell
+~/ $ openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout www_domain_name_com.key -out www_domain_name_com.csr
+```
+
+The OpenSSL command-line tool will prompt you for several pieces of information. The important ones, which will need to match the organization on whose behalf the certificate is to be issued are:
+
+- Country Name, the two-letter abbreviation for the organization's country (e.g. `CA`);
+- State or Province, the full name of the state/province in which the organization is based (e.g. `Quebec`);
+- Common Name, the fully-qualified domain-name to which the certificate will be associated (e.g. `www.godynamo.com`);
+- Email Address, the administrative email address for the organization (e.g. `webmaster@godynamo.com`).
+
+You may provide the other details, or leave them blank.
+
+This will generate two files: the certificate signing request (`www_domain_name_com.csr`) and the private key (`www_domain_name_com.key`).
+
+The certificate signing request (CSR) contains the identifying information collected above, as well as the public key. Together, they constitute the "application" we'll make to a certificate authority.
+
+The private key is the linchpin of the cryptographic security of the certificate, and should never exist anywhere except the server(s) the certificate will be securing. In practice, it's a real pain-in-the-ass to have to reissue a certificate because the private key got mislaid, so we store backups of private keys in Google Drive.
+
+## Buying a Certificate
+
+Now that you have a CSR, it's time to apply for a certificate. This is way crazier than you'd imagine, because there are a _lot_ of different kinds of certificates. You can cover one, or multiple, domains; you can choose from among many different certificate authorities; you can choose between high- and low-assurance certificates. This creates a non-trivial matrix of certificate vendors to choose from.
+
+### SSLs.com
+
+By and large, though, our SSL certificates are managed with SSLs.com, and we choose between QuickSSL Premium and RapidSSL Wildcard. The choice becomes pretty easy: if you need to secure subdomains, choose a RapidSSL Wildcard; otherwise, choose QuickSSL Premium.
+
+Once you've paid for the certificate, the process of _issuing_ the certificate begins. Depending on the level of assurance offered by the CA, the first step may be waiting for a confirmation email to be sent to the administrative email you provided in the CSR; or it may involve adding a DNS record or verification file on the server to which the domain points.
+
+Once the verification has been completed, though, you will be provided with two files: the PEM-format certificate file (usually `.crt`); and the intermediate and root certificates (`.ca-bundle`), which complete the certificate chain and ensure your certificate is trusted. (You might also have a `.p7b` file, but you can probably ignore this one.)
+
+**TBD: screen-by-screen cert issuing process?**
+
+### Let's Encrypt (TBD)
+The [Let's Encrypt][https://letsencrypt.org/] is going to shake things up toward the end of 2015. It's in the final stages of approval as a new Certificate Authority who will issue SSL certificates for free. It may obsolesce SSLs.com.
+
+## Installing the SSL Certificate
+
+At this point, you've got your private key (.key) stashed away, and you've now got a certificate file (.crt) and a set of intermediate certificates (.ca-bundle). Now you have to install them on your server(s)!
+
+### Cloud 66
+
+To use your shiny new SSL certificate on Cloud66, you'll have to provision the SSL add-in to the corresponding stack. When prompted, enter the contents of the `.key` file in in the "Certificate Key" field, the contents of the `.crt` file in the "SSL Certificate" field, and the contents of the `.ca-bundle` file in the "Intermediate Certificate" field.
+
+### Heroku
+
+Installing your SSL certificate on Heroku is a bit more complicated. The first step is to provision an SSL endpoint via the Heroku Toolbelt, using the following template:
+
+```shell
+~/ $ heroku certs:add domain.crt domain.key domain.ca-bundle —app my-app-1234
+```
+
+This will assign an endpoint URL along the lines of `example-1234.herokussl.com`, but visiting this URL will not reveal your website—indeed, your browser should emit a scary mismatched-certificate warning. This is expected, and indeed desireable: it demonstrates that Heroku is attempting to use your SSL certificate to establish the connection with your browser.
+
+To complete the setup, you'll need to add a couple DNS records. For the root domain, add an `ALIAS` or `ANAME` record with `example-1234.herokussl.com` as the target. For a subdomain, like `www.`, add a `CNAME` record.
+
+For more information on configuring DNS records, see the TBD guide to [[DNSMadeEasy]] (TBD).
