Self signed SSL certificate vs verified

Unsigned certs (non verifiable) will cause a problem in almost every browser
on the market now.

Get a cert from ipsCA for ezproxy, the wildcard certs are also free for
.EDU's, just select the free .EDU option and past in a cert request for
*.ezproxy.whatever.edu and it will approve it.

We are using a self-signed SSL on our EZProxy, no problems at all.

Greetings Fellow 'Noids.

I'm curious how many website administrators are using self-signed SSL
certificates for their public websites. Currently I have a free but
verified SSL certificate (from ipsCA) on our public website, but a
self-signed certificate for our proxy server (EZproxy). If you are
using a self-signed certificate have your users had any problems
accessing the site? Both Firefox and IE display an intimidating
message for users when they access a self-signed site.

Please respond to me directly, and I can post a summery to the list if
there is anyone else interested.

Thanks!

I have a spelling checker,
It came with my pea see;
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I cannot sea.
I've run this poem threw it,
I'm sure your please too no,
It's letter perfect in its weight,
My checker tolled me sew.
