Re: SSL certificates and IE

[Augusto Jun Devegili]

Considering you won't buy a certificate from a trusted CA, you might 
tell your users to install your CA certificate or your Web server 
certificate by providing a link to these certificates: IE will download 
them, ask the user if he/she trust them and put them in the trusted 
certificate store.

Alternatively, when a user connects to an SSL Web server and IE doesn't 
trust the certificate, there's an option in the dialog box which allows 
for the certificate installation in the trusted certificate store.

Anyway, you won't be able to change your certificate so that your users 
access your SSL Web server without some sort of warning... unless you 
buy a certificate from some (IE) trusted CA, such as Verisign.

I am now servering a certificate to web connections. 
Internet Explorer complains of the certificate not being issued by a trusted
company.

I am the CA for the certificate.  What are ways I can modify the certificate
so IE does not complain about this anymore?
