Well, you can make them work by distributing the certificates and manually
adding them to the trusted roots store. If he is only talking about getting
a limited number of clients and servers working, this is probably a
practical approach. If he tries to scale it further than that, he'll
quickly learn to discover why a CA (or commercially procured certs) is so
valuable. :)
The tool makecert.exe is probably the thing he needs. It isn't as easy to
use as selfssl (from the IIS 6 resource kit), but it can make any kind of
self-signed cert.

Is there a third party commercial or shareware tool to create self-signedSelf signed certificates will not work in the scenario you describe, as
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.
they would not be
trusted by any of the other clients and servers.
