Mark Stanfill had a comment on this once he saw it, and I agree, you really need to use a commercial SSL certificate (GoDaddy, Thawte, or Verisign for example) so you don’t have to mess with the certificate package. Below is Mark’s comment. – Steve
“Oh, gawd, please, no. Don’t be a cheapskate. You will end up supporting every user’s home PC, laptop, and Windows Embedded sewing machine. Big boys (ok, medium-biz-sized boys) should factor in the price of a real commercial cert with the price of the deployment :)”
