of course if does not bit it just looks NASTY! and.... since it is used to showcase the software they should think about the presentation. Ed Sharpe archivist for SMECC On Mon, Dec 11, 2006 at 03:55:17PM -0500, COURYHOUSE@aol.com wrote:

The certificate alert windows is kind of annoying, but not everybody can afford a signed certificate (it costs some hundred dollars or more). That's why some people use a self-signed certificate, which warn you every time you visit the site. The only thing you have to do is to click on the "ok" button (I mean, accept the certificate), or on the "Cancel" button (reject the certificate). For the record, Joshua mentioned Verising, but there are other companies like beTruested, Equifax, etc (you'll find a complete list if you check your browser's certificate manager) where you can buy a third-party certificate. Each company offers a different price for their certificates. I assume the Northland Baptist Bible College's OPAC is on the live OPAC list as a gesture to the Koha's community, and Software Libre in general. So, better than criticize them, we should thank them!

Try http://www.cacert.org They are free. You will have to download their root certificate and include it into your browser. Instructions are on the site. Luis M. Gallardo D. wrote:
