Re: Self Signed Certs

You should find some way of installing those certificates in the browsers that need to use them, or for more flexibility run an internal CA (it's not that hard) and install its certificate, or just not bother with SSL. As it is, you're just getting a false sense of security, because your browser can't tell the difference between the certificate you created and another one presented by an attacker who spoofed the DNS response for the web server you're trying to use.
