Re: 3rd party or SBS certificate

Technically speaking whether you use the self-signed certificate or a 3rd party one is the same thing. The difference is that the certificate issued by your server, isn't considered "trusted" because basically nobody knows who you are. A third party certificate, from a trusted publishing authority, is considered "safe".

For RWW and mobile phones you can use either the SBS or a third party certificate. If you decide to use the SBS certificate your users will be seeing a warning when they try to access the RWW interface and as far as the mobile phones go, you'll have to follow some steps to install the certificate on them.

As a cheap alternative, take a look at the turbo-ssl certificate from godaddy.com https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ssl/ssl.asp?ci=8979
