Re: SSL Problem

Dear Stefano and Kris,

I've been using JWS to deploy an application that uses postgresql.
I've configured pg to use MD5 for a minimum of security (user and
passwd) - how can I deploy an app that uses SSL WITHOUT having to run
keytool on each machine?
Can I "show" the certificate (self signed) and ask the user if he/she
would like to accept it as valied? Is thera a HOWTO anywhere or some
sample code showing how to do that?
I also have the same problem using LDAP (and OpenLDAP)...

Thanks in advance,
José Carlos Stevenson.
