by s it a bad idea to install self-signed certificates on a server before
installing one signed by a CA?
I have a new application in which my
development environment has no SSL. The application is going onto a
brand new server and, while the CA is generating the certificate, I would
like to get the SSL components in place, moving things onto the eventual
production server.
If I do so with a self-signed certificate, expecting
to put on a CA-signed one in a week or so, am I asking for trouble? What
must I do to put the CA-signed on in place? Merely stop the server and
replace the ca.crt, ca.key, ca.db.index and ca.db.serial
files?
Thanks,
