[ale] OpenSSL Cert Quesiton

In order to have the error message "go away", you need to have your
certs "signed" by a group like Thawte or Verisign. It's not $0 (free)
and they expire.

You can "sel-sign" but then you must "accept" the certificates manually
in the browser. And you must accept it for each browser that accesses
the https site.

Thawte is pretty easy and less expensive than Verisign.
