hey all,

i was wondering what the difference was between getting Verisign as an ssl
provider and setting up certificate services on a win 2000 server within an
enterprise?

thanks,
rodchar
 
You need Verisign if you want your servers to be externally trusted on a
broad basis. If you are using internal only, you can configure the internal
trust yourself.

So basically VeriSign sets up there servers the way we would setup our own
CA? Is that correct?
