SSL Certificates

Hi,

How can I make my own SSL certificates without sending them to VeriSign?

Re: SSL Certificates

Hi,

You can either set up your own CA server or use SelfSSL tool from IIS 6
Resource Kit. If you decide to use SelfSSL tool, you don't have to set up
your own CA server.

You can download it for free here...

Re: SSL Certificates

Compared to what and which part are you worried about? SelfSSL tool uses
standard algorithms to generate keys (e.g. sha1).
Well tool is still meant for testing purposes and is not meant to be used in
production.

If you want to set up your own Microsoft CA server, here are some resources
