A self-signed cert will cause most browsers to present users with an ominous-sounding warning, but it doesn''t cost anything. Maybe that isn''t a problem for your user base, maybe it is. A cert from a recognized Certificate Authority will not prompt those warnings, but it costs money. Verisign is only one CA, BTW, so you might look at others to compare pricing.

Obviously the details of that depend on the client implementation.> Mr. Hassan where are you from ?San Jose CA :-) HTH, -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroeder-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
