Configurable Options

The module enables you to set up configurable options allowing clients to define the products they order.

Below you can find the list of configurable options with descriptions of how they will affect an order:
Certificate Type - allows client to choose from types provided in configuration, a chosen type will overwrite configuration in 'Module Settings' .
Years - client can choose the amount of years when certificate is valid. Make sure you will not exceed the maximum number of years for a particular certificate.
Maximum number of years for a particular certificate type can be found after a brand name followed by '| ' on the 'Certificate Type' in 'Module Settings' tab.
Servers Count - (required for Thawte and most of VeriSign certificates) if applicable, its range stretches from 1 to 500.
SAN Count - (SAN certificates only) client can define the maximum number of domains supported by a certificate.
