certificate authority

HowtoForge: "Zivios is an open source web based identity management application featuring single sign on, certificate authority, user, group and computer provisioning with remote management of services."

Creating a private CA can be useful if you have a lot of services encrypting data for internal use but don’t need the domain to be verified by a public CA like Verisign, Thawte etc.

By importing the CA to all computers that will use these services users won’t get the a popup in IE and Firefox saying that the certificate is invalid.
