Re: Self Signed Certificates?



In article <v4KdnatGr9M30obYnZ2dnUVZ_rqdnZ2d@xxxxxxxxxxxx>, westes-usc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx says...
Is there a third party commercial or shareware tool to create self-signed
certificates under Windows 2000 and Windows 2003? My immediate need is for
authentication on just a few servers and clients, and I don't want to hassle
with certificate authorities (yet). I know there is a tool included in
IIS, but it doesn't work on machines that don't have IIS so it is not a
solution for us.


Self signed certificates will not work in the scenario you describe, as they would not be
trusted by any of the other clients and servers.
