Getting CA-Signed Certificate

The process of getting a certificate that is signed by a CA is quite a bit more complicated. You can purchase one from a number of PKI vendors, but that is not at all necessary for use with Bacula.

To get a CA signed certificate, you will either need to find a friend that has setup his own, trusted CA, or to become a CA yourself, and thus you can sign all your own certificates. The book OpenSSL by John Viega, Matt Mesier & Pravir Chandra from O’Reilly explains how to do it, or you can read the documentation provided in the Open-source PKI Book.
