SSL cert validation using thawte

What a crazy day I've been tied up for the last hour or so trying to set up a try SSL cert using OpenSSL, note to self when validating the key in openssl the name is the domain name ie www.mydomain.com not you own name silly boy, also have be using some python script but more on that one later.

Post more when I try and figure out how I can automate the whole process in excel
