Re: Let's Encrypt, free SSL/TLS certs

If you use this and you have to tell a user how to "trust" it with your

application (no matter the platform), it may not be the best solution until
the big players include them in the standard CA lists.


I was curious about the same thing. The certs they sign are being used on
their website (letsencrypt.com) and here's a screenshot of it being valid
with IE 8 on XP which is a pretty good test:

I don't know if their cert signer is on IBM i in DCM. Haven't checked.
But in the end it really only matters that browsers support it, and those
are in large part updated regularly.
