Hi

I have created a self signed certificate and apply to Default website (localhost). I got error.
[There is a problem with this website's security certificate. The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept data you send to the server.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this Web site.]

How I can remove the error!

Your browser is correct:
SQL
The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
In this case you issued the certificate and you are not a trusted certificate authority.

To make the message go away on one specific computer, you need to add yourself as a trusted CA.

If you're trying to make the message go away for everyone, sorry! You need to buy an SSL certificate. Luckily they're dirt-cheap these days. You can probably find one for $30 if you shop around.
