Setting Up Verisign SSL For Local Server -
i'm working on local database , want connections server use ssl. i've read self-signing ssl certificates not secure , using trusted certificate authority, verisign, best. possible setup verisign ssl on local server?
the database, on occasions, aslo send data out external database , want information encrypted well. need certificates or can use same one?
self-signed ssl certificates secure, they're not endorsed certificate authority.
if run public website, want visitors know they're connected you, having certificate signed verisign (or trusted ca), browser can confirm , acknowledge connected you.
when connecting via self signed certificate, browser display warning since not recognize ca (you ca self signed cert). can add browser's "trusted cas" , won't display error anymore you, if else visits site own browser, display warning again.
here's primer on http/ssl/cas: http://wpengine.com/support/how-does-all-this-work-https-ssl-certificates-ca-public-and-private-keys-csrs/
