-        When setting up an SSL server, you need to generate a certificate request and a private key, and then send the certificate request, proof of the company's identity, and payment to a certificate authority. Once the CA verifies the certificate request and your identity, it will send you a signed certificate you can use with your server.
+        When setting up an SSL server, you need to generate a certificate request and a private key, and then send the certificate request, proof of the company's identity, and payment to a certificate authority. Once the CA verifies the certificate request and your identity, it will send you a signed certificate you can use with your server. Alternatively, you can create a self-signed certificate that does not contain a CA signuture, and thus should be used for testing purposes only.

-        For testing purposes, a self-signed certificate can be used which does not contain a signature from a CA. Note, however, that self-signed certificates should not be used in most production environments. Self-signed certificates are not automatically accepted by a user's browser — users are prompted by the browser to accept the certificate and create the secure connection. Refer to <xref linkend="s2-sslserver-certs"/> for more information on the differences between self-signed and CA-signed certificates.

-        Once you have a self-signed certificate or a signed certificate from the CA of your choice, you must install it on your secure server.
