Or if you wanted to be tricky about it, you could SSH into the server and use the copy of OpenSSL to generate a CA certificate. Then load this CA certificate (public side of course) into your browser. Then use this CA certificate to sign the certificate used by Cobalt Admin. This way, your browser can authoritivly approve the certificates authenticity and you havent had to shell out any money or install any other software.
This seems like a neat trick but even though *you* won't get an error message in *your* browser, won't *everyone* elses browser still show the error because their browsers aren't preprogrammed to recognize you as a CA?
