I don't think you can obtain that $11 or free SSL Cert for private DNS
names, can you?   I want to do SSL on hosts that aren't even on the
internet, let alone using names that are delegated by registrars.  It is a
completely private, completely isolated internal system that happens to use
the web application architecture.  That's why I would like to do it with an
internal CA, but the problem is getting the browsers to accept that CA (and
perhaps, accept *only* that CA).  I realize this is beyond the scope of
OFBiz development but I thought I might not be the only OFBiz user who
deploys in an isolated environment.  We'd still really like to have the
encrypted communication of SSL without the third party authentication bits.
The deployment is large enough that the step of "accepting the self-signed
certs" really is a nuisance.
