Re: [PLUG] https Certificates Question

I have used startssl (http://www.startssl.com/) with some success. You can get a cert for free from them.
I haven't tried CAcert but have thus far had no issues with startssl, although I'd be happy to hear from anyone who has.

I need to set up one of my apache web servers as a secure server with
https protocol.

I'm wondering about the costs and potential pitfalls in doing so.

A quick web search has found that commercial certificates from the "big
guys" are around $250/year.  However, I see that CAcert offers
certificates
for free.

Can anyone point me to a good primer/reference for this, or let me know
how you fared establishing a secure web server?
