TLS Certificate

The purpose of the TLS Certificate is to ensure communications with your web sales server validated and secure. A valid TLS certificate causes the 'lock' on the patrons web browser to turn on and encrypts all communication between the patron and your web services.

Before you can get an TLS certificate, you will need:

• a static IP address for your router that is obtained from you ISP
• a 'nice' domain name like tickets.yourvenue.org which is set up with an 'A' record on a DNS server and points to your firewall
• to open ports 80 and 443 at the Firewall per PCI requirements

The steps you will need to follow to set up an TLS Certificate and get web pages working are in the following sections.

 

For Venues hosted on AMS Cloud

AMS provides the static IP for you as part of your setup. AMS can provide a URL like 'yourname.artsman.com' if you wish, and if so, will also provide our group TLS certificate for your use. If you prefer to use your own domain name, you will need your own TLS that we can obtain and set up.
