Any gotchas or awkward procedures or just go ahead and apply?
If it was "for security" then you'd use your own self-signed cert.
StartSSL.com give free certs for non-commercial use, not wildcard though (unless you fill in paperwork and send them $70 or something like that).
The CACert one does, but it's much less widely accepted than StartSSL.
Is the CACert root certificate included in the main browsers, or do Mozilla etc want something up front to include it? When I logged into the site their cert was not recognized.
@rchurch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CACert#Inclusion_status
not really.
On a side note is it possible to retrieve the clear text of a certificate, root certificate included for verification and comparison?
However, you can keep ordering free certs for as many subdomains on the same domain as you require... just a little bit of extra work but not a big deal..
startssl is much more widely accepted by browsers than CACerts. And as @twain mention... because it's free... you can get StartSSL certis for as many as subdomains as you want... so in a sense you can use it as a wildcard... just a lil bit extra work needed.
For me... it hardly takes around 5 mins to install a certi from StartSSL on a subdomain for a already verified domain in my startssl account.
