I want to run a secure web server. For that I will need a certificate for my server.
Can I generate my own certificate, or I must buy one from a Certification Authority?
Can I generate certificates to my customers?
I thought that as long as my customers trust my certificate they can tell their
browser to accept it. Is this true?
If this is possible, how can I do it?
Thanks,
Jorge
