Re: DCM cert for Apache settings


Yes. If the client don't trust the certificate, self-signed or not, it
will be rejected. That's how SSL works.



SSL encryption works fine with self-signed certificates (just as well as
CA-signed certificates).


Also, the terminology used is horrible which probably why Scott wasn't
quite sure of what you were saying.

Scott was referring to SMTP servers and HTTP servers that run web
services. You seem to be referring to clients of some sort.

"Web service clients and servers". That is VERY confusing.


I understand that the term "web services" might be ambiguous to some
people. But why for you and Scott Klement? You both have written your own
web-service clients (GETURI and HTTPAPI), which provide for SSL encryption,
using self-signed certificates.

And similarly, SMTP-relay clients and servers implement TLS protocols and
encryption, using self-signed certificates. That's common in the industry.
