http://www.startssl.com/ http://www.startssl.com/ will give you a free ssl certificate for a single domain (actually, they'll give you one that covers a domain plus a single subdomain). Handy if you want to setup your own mailserver somewhere: the root certs are in all the main browsers & mail clients. You'll need to have your (web|mail)server serve up the intermediate cert as well as the leaf cert which can be a slight pain to setup, but apart from that it all works just fine.
- qjz 15y agoThe root cert is not in early versions of Android, due to a bug. I'm not sure when that was fixed. Unfortunately, you can't update root certificates in these versions.
- pja 15y agoAre there any phones out there that can't be at least updated to Froyo now, whether officially or not? If you're geeky enough to want your own ssl cert then you're geeky enough to root your phone & install CyanogenMod.
- qjz 15y agoI can't update my users' phones for them. Just pointing out that users stuck on older versions of Android, for whatever reason, may run into problems with the free cert. In the mail client, it will work if "TLS (if available)" is checked, but that's a departure from what other mail clients mean by that option.
- pja 15y agoIf you check that then won't those users using an unencrypted connection?
