You can also just generate a cert yourself for testing anyway - I use OpenSSL- works a treat.

Have you tried their > certificates? I haven't used 'em yet...only recently heard about them myself...so here's the loose tidbits I've heard: Folks like Verisign have a deal with browser makers to check the maker of the cert before showing that warning....if they find that the maker is say Verisign that warning does not show. This is why certs cost so much for something that is pretty basic. This is something that the CACert folks have been trying to get around and I think they have...but with NS and IE..perhaps not Firefox yet So some users may get that warning...others may not....but hey...if they do they'll know your site is secure ;-) You're probably better off reading their news or forums than listening to my ramblings...but hopefully that's enough info to find reality ;-) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
