[CalendarServer-users] Experimenting with 2.4 on Linux

[Guy]

Simple to fix the SSL issues. 

Create your own root certificate which you install on your clients. 

Then create a cert for your calendar server and sign it with your new root certificate. Check my website http://www.rho.cc for a step by step guide. It's for Asterisk PBX but the steps are the same.
