This is somewhat new to me so I'm not really sure I describe it correct. I spent an hour searching the forum without finding and answer, so I try posting instead.
I'm creating a web service in Erlang, using OpenSSL. I want the clients to communicate with the server over SSL. I'm only interested in the encryption part of SSL, so I don't need any certificates signed by Verisign/etc to verify that the server really is The Server. The service will be installed on many different servers (50-100). 1. Is it possible to have the web service create a unique server certificate on the fly (with tools in OpenSSL) when it runs for the first time, and thus make it possible for clients to access it over SSL right away? 2. I have tried using the example certificate and key that came with the (Erlang) webserver. That one is (of course) issued to "localhost". When using a Java client to access the server, Java reports an error because of that. Is it standard procedure that I could bypass this error in a client and continue on with the connection? (This is not Java specific, since the service should work with any client connecting to it.) I hope I could make myself understood, and I would be very grateful for any help in any way. Thanks!
