That's because with any self-signed certificate unless you import the CAs
into your PC it won't trust them.

The CA is your IBM i, not an entity like GoDaddy, etc. There's no way a PC
could automatically trust a self-signed certificate.

That's the part that confuses me. If a browser is connecting to abc.com,
why not trust a certificate from the same? What make GoDaddy more
trustworthy?

What about folks who only want encryption?
