Was ist der Unterschied zwischen einer .cer-, .crt- und .pem-Datei?

All three usually hold PEM text, though a .cer can occasionally be DER binary instead. Encoding matters more than the extension, so check the BEGIN/END lines or let the tool detect it.

Benötige ich meinen privaten Schlüssel für die Konvertierung?

Only when you’re creating a PFX or PKCS#12 file. If you’ve lost the password to an existing PFX, its key cannot be recovered, and reissuing the certificate is the only fix.

Ist es sicher, meinen privaten Schlüssel hier zu konvertieren?

Yes. Every conversion runs inside your browser, and no file reaches SSL Dragon or any server. For a fully offline route, the OpenSSL command line does the same job on your own machine.

Kann ich auch eine CSR mit einem Zertifikat abgleichen?

Yes. Fill all three fields and the matcher also compares the CSR with the certificate and with the private key. The CSR field is optional, and you can match a CSR against a private key with no certificate at all.

Lädt der Certificate Key Matcher meinen privaten Schlüssel hoch?

No. Your files are read and compared inside your browser, and nothing is transmitted. You can disconnect from the internet before running a check and it still works.

Ist EV SSL tot?

No, but its most visible feature is gone. Browsers removed the EV company-name indicator from the address bar between 2018 and 2019, so visitors no longer see your organization name without clicking the padlock. The underlying identity verification, the legal name embedded in the certificate, and the warranty are unchanged. See the section above for where that verified identity is still used.

Kann ich wechseln, wenn ich bereits ein SSL-Zertifikat von einem anderen Anbieter habe?

Yes. The bundles include a new SSL certificate alongside the automation agent. If you currently hold a certificate from another provider, you can transition when your existing certificate comes up for renewal. Once configured, the agent manages all future renewals on its own.

Werden Wildcard-Zertifikate unterstützt?

Yes. Both the RapidSSL Wildcard + AutoInstall and GeoTrust QuickSSL Premium Wildcard + AutoInstall bundles cover unlimited subdomains on a single level (for example, shop.example.com, mail.example.com, app.example.com). Wildcard certificates require DNS-based validation, which the agent handles automatically for supported DNS hosts.

Wie viel kosten die Bundles?

Starting at $23/yr (RapidSSL Standard + AutoInstall) up to $285/yr (GeoTrust QuickSSL Premium Wildcard + AutoInstall). Every bundle includes both the certificate and the automation agent for one year. See all four options in the pricing section above.

Wie unterscheidet sich AutoInstall SSL™ von Let’s Encrypt oder Certbot?

The key differences are warranty coverage (up to $500,000), a CA-issued site seal, 24/7 support, and a managed agent that requires no ongoing maintenance. The full side-by-side breakdown is in the comparison section above. SSL Dragon’s ACME SSL Certificates page covers the alternative protocol-based approach.
