Hi All,
I have a CentOS 5.4 web server. I have some stuff that runs on 443.
When I hit https://<the site>
The user gets a warning saying that site identity could not be verified and the user can add an exception if they want.
How do I stop this from happing? Do I need to buy an SSL cert? Aren't these really expensive per server and I have 5 servers I would need to do this too.
Can anyone provide advice?

Those are SSL Cert warnings. You will get to get a signed cert to avoid them.
SSL Certs are pretty cheap now.
http://startssl.org will generate certs for free but you have to register and jump through a few hoops.

Either that or allow the exception or import the CA cert to the browser. This is not a CentOS issue at all. Folks, please keep off-topic questions off the list.

The *only* way is to buy certs. And it'll be one for each sitename. And you'll have to answer a *lot* of questions.... Security's cranking up, esp. if you're accepting credit cards, in which case it's *really* ratcheted up.

What are the organizations that do this properly and inexpensively.
One for each domain name, correct?

You can buy wildcard certificates if all of your servers are running under the same TLD.

Have a look at Godaddy's SSL certs. They are around $30 per domain. You need one IP per domain with SSL cert as well.

Yes. You need one SSL certificate per site. Although I've never bought an SSL certificate, I have looked at www.rapidsslonline.com .. their rapid ssl is I think $18/year and less if you buy for multiple years. If all of your websites are under the same domain, you could buy a wildcard cert as well.

You can get a RapidSSL certificate (single root which is easier to install) from Namecheap for $10.95 a year. http://www.namecheap.com/learn/other-services/cheap-ssl-certificate-rapidssl...
Or, you can get a free SSL certificate, with Intermediate certificates, which are a little harder to install, from StartSSL. I got one of those. http://www.startssl.com/
Each site needs an SSL certificate and a Dedicated IP address.
