The easy way, just convince your users to accept the certificate
forever when thier browser asks them about the unknown certificate.
Once they do so they will get to your site just fine, till the
certificate exipres. This is what I've done so far.
The alternitave is to have them add your CA certificate to thier list
of acceptable CA's. I think (but have not tried it) it is as easy as
presenting the CA certificate on the net, and having them point thier
browser at it and accept it when prompted.
