If you are simply using certs for encryption and not for authentication then this practice probably can be safely dispensed with. If you ARE using certs for authentication then this provision is absolutely required.
James,
Correct I am really just using cert or https for encryption not authentication.
But it sounds like it really doesnt matter. They are not seperate things.
Was just trying to find a way so that users that "dont know" what this box is that is poping up wont even see the box. Sounds like there is no way around it - to just use https encryption.
Thanks,
Jerry
