OK, thx for the info.

So if I create my own CA, and generate a certificate for packet fence, and
then distribute that CA cert to all my domain computers so that web
browsers could treat them trusted it’s going to work but only for my domain
computers. And if someone else connects to network (outside the domain) for
example a guest he will receive an error.

So only way is to have a real cert.



Am I correct ?
