Hi Franco, When you create the certificate, instead of entering your first/last name, enter the domain of your server (e.g. localhost or www.mysite.com). This is the CN (Common Name) of the certificate.
Note that you will still get a warning about the issuer of the certificate. If you accept the certificate permanently, you will not see the warning in the future. You may also try using wild card certificates such as '*.mycompany.com' though I think that IE does not support it any more (which requires you to purchase more certificates from Verisign and their other buddies).
