SSL certificate domain control validation (DCV)

[charliekilian]

My Subsonic subdomain is teamjk.subsonic.org. I'm trying to install an SSL certificate purchased through Namecheap. It accepts several forms of Domain Control Validation, a list of which can be found here. To summarize, my options are:

- email-based DCV. I need to be able to respond to an email sent to someone@teamjk.subsonic.org. This won't work, because I don't have enough control over the domain.
- DNS CNAME-based DCV. I need to be able to set up a DNS entry: (value_of_md5_hash_of_CSR).teamjk.subsonic.org CNAME (value_of_sha1_hash_of_CSR).teamjk.subsonic.org. I don't know if this is an option offered by Subsonic?
- HTTP(S)-based DCV. I have to be able to serve a file over the web server. Even if I can do this, I don't think it would work, because "Note: The DCV will fail if any redirection is in place." In checking how this is implemented, there is an HTTP 302 redirect that happens when I navigate to my server.

Is there a way to pass Domain Control Validation so I can get a recognized Certificate Authority to issue me an SSL certificate?

No

Wow. That really sucks. I do appreciate the prompt answer. Is that the official word?

I'm not an official spokesman for subsonic. If you need something official ask Sindre.
