Third-Party Signed SSL Certificate for localhost/127.0.0.1? -
without divulging information, need setup web server system intended used end users on internet.
the use case such that:
- end users (usually) in homes behind local firewalls when connecting system.
- the system consists of remote server hosted us, strictly on https (using ssl)
- the authorization mechanism requires user account self-creation on remote server which, upon successful account creation, require piece of software downloaded , installed end users' computer. software contains, among other things, local webserver.
- this "local" webserver must allow https connections user's browser.
since distributed software unique web server on every individual users' machine, i'm unsure how or if possible, third party signed ssl certificate won't cause trustworthiness errors when user connects via web browser. of course can use self-signed ssl certs idea avoid browser warnings end users implicitly "trust" data coming own application running webserver on ssl.
is possible?
probably can make of this offering globalsign (other cas offer comparable services). in brief, offering lets have ca certificate (and enroll end-user certificates localhost / whatever ) signed globalsign certificate. cost can significant though (i believe determine on case case basis).
