Hi all,
Does anybody know of a free CA (Certificate Authority) that is recognized by common browsers? I have some very low volume non-commercial sites and cannot justify spending $100/year on certificates for them.
I tried CAcert by no matter what I did they said they could not contact my mail server in order to verify me. (Same server where my Fedora Users mail arrives w/o problems.) tcpdump shows they came and carried on some sort of conversation. Given all that I gave up on them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Mike Wright
p.s Thank you, Edward Snowden. You've done us all a great service.

You can get "legit" SSL certs here for $9.00/year for one year or 7.95/year for 5 years: http://www.namecheap.com/

Not free, but I have bought four SSL certs from RapidSSL certs from Trustico for ~$80/4 years. I recently bunged up a cert, had not bought the reissue insurance and they still kindly re-issued the cert. I then bunged up the reissue and they still were very cool about helping me get things sorted out. I'd highly recommend them.
