 '''Validation method URL'''<br>
 When this method is chosen, domain control must be proven by placing a file with a certain content at the root of the domain. For example: <u><nowiki>http://example.com/abcde01234.txt</nowiki></u> having the content vwxyz56789.

 == Organization validated SSL certificates (OV) ==
 OV certificates too must undergo Domain Control Validation (DCV) as described above. In addition, the certificate issuer validates the identity of the certificate applicant, requesting documents as required and checking:
 * that the organization name and address are correct
 * that they are coherent with the domain WHOIS data
 * that the phone number is correct (making a call)
