resp:0: if someone can get me the godaddy login/password, I can handle
the ssl certificate renewal. As well, as I've offered before, I'd be
happy to setup Grex on my mail server and offer it as I do with m-net's
email. The previous interest seemed low, so perhaps there is no
interest in doing this.

I'll be seeing Mark on Saturday and will ask him about this.

Re 12: sounds good to me. Will other staff help Tony out on this so
we can get this fixed? I don't recall the details of our in-meeting
investigation into who the current SSL cert is registered with. I
assume it would be good to just renew the current one rather than have
expired certs all over creation.

resp:14: It's a godaddy certificate, I've already verified that (and
noted in resp:12). If we have the username/password for the godaddy
account, renewing is simple. Pay the fee, and get the new certificate,
then install it. It also appears to be a multi-domain certificate, so
we should modify it to also work for grex.cyberspace.org so that
backtalk is also encrypted since it also runs over ssl.

This is one of those items that the Board said they could handle in
e-mail for the purposes of authorizing a payment. Do you have a
cost for this renewal?
Also, we noted some issues with some aliased domains so having it
work with multiple domains sounds good (staff were going to look
into the setup).

resp:16: I believe it's about $90 for the 5 domain ssl certificate. The
current certificate expires on the 29th.
resp:17: I've already got root, but thanks for the support. :)

Okay, that sounds reasonable for 5 domains. The Board was hoping it
would be less than $100. Now it sounds like the username/password
may be the tie-up. Is there anyone one staff, who knows, who can
tell you? You might need to e-mail Dan.

I'll email staff (of which dan is a member) and see if I can kick up any
dirt.

The Board voted in e-mail to authorize up to $100 for the purpose of
purchasing renewed SSL certificates. The vote was 6 in favor, 1 not
voting. Approval was granted on June 24, 2010.
Has there been any word from Dan on the login credentials?

not yet. :( I'm unsure what email address would have even been used to
create it.

OK, well, hopefully we'll hear from Dan and he can enlighten us.
Thanks.

Does it cost more money to start from scratch as opposed to renewing a
license?

No. The cost will not be different.

But probably if we already have an account they'll see that we're
trying to get certs for the same domains and question what we're
doing. Would it make sense to call them, explain the situation,
and ask what evidence they need to see to let us do the renewal?

Someone in position of authority for the corporation could probably give
them a call and explain that we have no idea what our login is and see
what is necessary to retrieve it. I'd expect the President or VP should
be able to get the process started. If we had the login, we might be
able to then get the password reset.

I can try to do that Tony. Can you email me the particulars I need
to know, such as the domains we want to renew. A phone number would
be good, too.

There are no domains that need renewal, to my knowledge. All of the
email contacts on the domain appear to be treasurer@cyberspace.org, so
perhaps that's our login.
The following is what I see as the domains on the certificate though:
www.grex.org
grex.org
www.cyberspace.org
cyberspace.org

Thanks Tony. (Sorry, I meant domains for which we want certs). I'll try
to give them a call. We'll see what they say. The worst that could
happen is they won't talk to me ;)

OK, I gave them a call and it took a while for them to find our account,
but they did. Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as staff in terms of
getting even what the account name is (it's not treasurer@). I got into
the web page there and had it send an e-mail to the registered e-mail
about resetting the password. But I don't know what that e-mail address
is other than it is something at gmail.com. It could be Dan's or it
could be grex-staff (wouldn't that be nice) or it could be something
else entirely. They are looking for the 4-digit PIN before they'll even
discuss resetting a password.
What they did say was that after these certs expire, you can set up a
new account and get new certs. So that seems to be the way out if we
can't find the PIN and the account name.

Well, I haven't seen the grex-staff email, so I'm guessing that it was
probably cross' personal email or something. We'll go the route of
setting up a new account if it expires. At that point, if I'm the one
renewing (and I haven't seen anyone object to that), then I'll need some
cooperation from whoever owns treasurer@ now, since it'll send email
requesting authorization to the contact listed in the domain name
registration. It won't be too painful though.

Good deal. With any luck Dan will pop in briefly and let staff know
the details. Otherwise, with a new account, I wonder if we can have
the e-mail be grex-staff@gmail.com so that if this happens again
more than one person will in theory get the e-mail?
TS is the treasurer now. Since the Board approved of the expenditure,
there shouldn't be a problem with TS helping out in terms of payment
and/or authorization.

Sounds good. I'd support making the account grex-staff@gmail.com.

Making the account in grex-staff's name is a good idea...
