[Savannah-hackers] SSL

[krisb]

Hello,

I noticed that you use SSL on your website.  I'd like to experiment with using
SSL on my sites, but don't want to pay a certificate authority.  Do you know if
it's possible to use SSL without a CA account?  If my server is not registered
with a CA will all visitors get error messages asking them if they trust my
site before a secure connection is established?

Thanks,

Kris

[Savannah-hackers] ssl cert.

The server got a new IP?

My web browser bark about something wrong with the SSL certs, while
they are not outdated.

Regards,

that's correct, as far as I know. You can ask anyone to sign your certificate
or even do it yourself, but if it has not been signed by one of the CAs
recognized by the user's browser, he/she will get a warning and will have to
trust the Intitution signing the certificate before it proceeds.

Regards,
Jaime
