    If you control both the clients and the server, you can use self-signed SSL
    Cert on the server and have the clients trust the server's CA. All other
    situations require the purchase of a SSL Cert, which removes the warning
    popup.

    Try SelfSSL from IIS6 Resource Kit, free download from Microsoft.com to do
    the above in one simple step.

i have a non commercial web site on my server that i ask users to log
into.  they have to pass a name and a password.  i want to use ssl but
cannot afford to buy it every 2 year.
can i make my own certificiate for my https?  i understand that a user
will get a message saying my cert is not from an authority when they
go to the web site.  that will have to be ok.  can each one of those
people add to their internet explorer something that makes my not
authorized certificate go past ok with no warning message?
thanks and tell me if i am confusing.
AP!
