    Hello,

    We have an existing web application that we are modifying to contain
    sensitive, private user data. To secure the app as much as possible we
    would like to use ssl for the pages that display/edit this data.

    The production server is not as much of a worry at this point - however I am
    worried about testing and developing this application on our developer's
    machines. Our developers all develop locally (local copy of VS.NET, local
    web server, local database sql2000) on each of their machines - all the code
    is stored in a single Visual Source Safe server.

    What are the best practices to develop a partial ssl web application in this
    environment? Should we even worry about ssl at this point? Are
    certificates necessary? Does anyone know of any resources, links, etc?

    Any advice, articles or direction is much appreciated. Thanks in advance,
    Shane Kunkle
