In my project I need to connect to an intra-net web service but we need SSL connection between the two machines. Because this is an intra-net site the certificate of the web service might be a self-signed certificate. The web service and the web page that loads my Flex application resides on the same web server (tomcat) so when I load th...
I would like to have the authentication and registration parts of my website encrypted (for obvious reason). This site is currently and older site which some friends and I started in middle school and still use today. I may or may not register it to be a Non-Profit Organization in the near future, but either way, a CA costs money and t...
How secure is it to use self-signed certificates? As far as I understand it, an attacker could pretend to be my server if I don't have a certificate from an authority. Is this much of a risk? Should I buy a certificate for Subversion? ...
Hello, I am creating a WCF service hosted within IIS7 on Windows Vista SP1. I am getting the following error: The certificate 'CN=SignedByLocalHost' must have a private key that is capable of key exchange. The process must have access rights for the private key. It looks like I would need to give the host process assess to the certif...
I'm trying to create a self-signed wildcard SSL certificate for use on a number of development and test servers running IIS 6. Following various guides has led to a couple ways of generating the certificates, but I haven't had any luck getting it to work. The most successful ways I've had were following this OpenSSL guide and using mak...

Ola, I need to develop a website (in C#, asp.net 3.5) that will require client certificates. I'd like to debug this, using Visual Studio. I have setup IIS to use a self-signed certificate using the excellent tool SelfSSL I have also setup the default site to require SSL and to require client certificates. But I do not know how to create...
I have an app with an embedded webserver. This webserver can now do SSL via the OpenSSL package :) Now to the cert issue. This app is sold, which I say because it's not just sitting on a server I own -- it gets installed on thousands of computers. I want my customers to be safe so I want them to use SSL as painlessly as possible. Ri...
A module I'm adding to our large Java application has to converse with another company's SSL-secured website. The problem is that the site uses a self-signed certificate. I have a copy of the certificate to verify that I'm not encountering a man-in-the-middle attack, and I need to incorporate this certificate into our code in such a wa...
I have a desktop product which uses an embedded webserver which will use self-signed certs. Is there something that I can put in a web page that would detect that they haven't added the root CA to their trusted list, and display a link or DIV or something directing them how to do it? I'm thinking maybe a DIV that has instructions on ...
I'm trying to deploy a Java applet on my website. I also need to sign it, because I need to access the clipboard. I've followed all the signing tutorials I could find but have not had any success. Here is what I've done so far: Wrote an applet in NetBeans. It runs fine in the applet viewer. Made a .jar file out of it. Created a cer...
What exactly do certificates purchased from a CA do again (in the context of Java applets)? Lets say I have an applet on a website that accesses the users files (requiring a security certificate). If I make a self-signed certificate, the client will get a security warning asking if the client should trust this application. If I purcha...
I basically need to create a self signed certificate and then sign a binary stream with it to create a signature. I tried searching Google but i can't seem to get the right keywords for related results. Any help is appreciated. ...
I have an Apache Tomcat 6.x server running with a self-signed SSL certificate. I want the client to present their own certificate to the server so I can authenticate them based on a database of users. I have it all working based on an example I found online, but the example came with canned certificates and a pre-build JKS datastore. ...
We've got multiple subdomains, each with it's own virtualhost entry in httpd.conf and (for those supporting https) in ssl.conf as well. Our main www subdomain has a GoDaddy cert associated with it. The subdomain I'm configuring right now ("api.bulbstorm.com") has an ssl.conf virtualhost entry that looks like this: <VirtualHost 172.16....

Hi, I've generated a self-signed certificate for my Java app using keytool. However, when I go to the site in a browser it always pops up with a warning - saying this site does not own the certificate - is there a way to self-sign/doctor a certificate so I won't get these warnings in a browser? Both server and browser are located on t...
I've created a self-signed certificate in IIS7. Then I exported this certificate to a .pfx and then installed it on the client machine's IE browser. Then I set "Require Client Certificate" on the server's IIS configuration. When I try to visit the site with IE, a dialog box comes up for me to choose a certificate, however, there are no c...
