The major browsers are pre-configured to recognize certificate
authorities like Verisign. If you roll your own, all clients will have
to add your certificate server to their list of acceptable authorities
before being able to interact with servers that use certificates issued
locally. I'm not sure how servers react to clients that use
certificates from unrecognized authorities.
