Oct 7, 2016 4:23 AM in response to Jeffrey Westby Antonio Rocco,A self-signed certificate is always going to be untrusted by devices that are asked to 'trust it' because there's no way they can have prior knowledge of its trustworthiness or use an external authorising server that can vouch for the trustworthiness of that certificate. If the devices that are going to use it are part of the same organisation then the organisation's server/network administrator should either: Inform users using the server to trust and install the certificate when prompted or pre-install and trust the self-signed certificate on the devices prior to handing them out. Seeing as it's your server and the users using it are also part of the same organisation there's no reason to mistrust it is there?

Oct 10, 2016 6:59 AM in response to Antonio Roccoby Jeffrey West,Yes, I understand that a self-signed certificate will be untrusted. My question is more around why is Open Directory creating a CA when I have a trusted 3rd party certificate assigned to Open Directory in the server certificates panel?
And no, there's no issue of mistrust; I just don't understand what's happening.
