PFMaBiSmAd Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Creating a self-signed SSL certificate is fine for testing or when you have control over the clients using the certificate (such as within a corporation), but for general purpose use you will need a certificate that is signed by a trusted certificate authority so that the browser warnings concerning using a self-signed certificate don't scare away your visitors.
