title: Using makecert for Development SSL
body: <p>Here's my situation:</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to create a SSL certificate that will be installed on all developer's machine's, along with two internal servers (everything is non-production).</p>
  
  <p>What do I need to do to create a certificate that can be installed in all of these places?</p>
  
  <p>Right now I've got something along these lines, using the makecert application in Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin:</p>
  
  <pre><code>makecert -r -pe -n "CN=MySite.com Dev" -b 01/01/2000 -e 01/01/2033 -eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 -ss Root -sr localMachine -sky exchange -sp "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider" -sy 12 mycert.cer
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I'm not sure as to how to place this .cer file on the other computers, and when I install it on my local machine IIS, everytime I visit a page via https:, I get the security prompt (even after I've installed the certificate).  Has anyone done this before?</p>
