>>Yes, NT has a utility to generate your own certificate. It has been a

>>Generating your own certificate works fine if your app is not for the

>>The problem w/ generating your own cert is that when a user comes to your

>>something like "This certificate was generated by a source you have not
>>chosen to trust". I think that whole thing is a scam w/ MS and Verisign so
>>people buy their certificates. You can select to trust the site, and the
>>message will go away, but if your are trying to sell things to the public,
>>it does not look very good.
