may be okay if you have linked with RSAREF. Outside of the USA this isn’t an issue as far as I am aware. However if you want the Netscape browser to work in secure mode then you will still need an RSA or Netscape signed certificate for your server. You really should read the details of the process that Alex Tang altitude@cic.net has been through if you are “blessed” with being inside the USA. This is detailed at http://petrified.cic.net/~altitude/ssl/ssl.saga.html and makes quite “interesting reading”.
