   They most definitely could and that is an excellent suggestion as SSL
   certs can be multiple hundreds of dollars a year.  Actually, self-signed
   certs makes a lot more sense in this case because there is already a lot
   of "massaging" of the SSL process going on.  One of the benefits to having
   Verisign (or the like) sign a cert is to save on the mess of having people
   install your certificate.

   Good catch,

 You simply head over to Verisign (or other preferred vendor) and 
 purchase a
 certificate by providing them with some information from your machine
 (which should have been saved when SSL was first setup) and then 
 install
 the cert they give back to you on the AS400 using DCM and then 
 associate
 it with the Apache instance that is doing the XML web services.
    

 Since this is an in-house operation Aaron, can't they simply use self-
 signed certificates?
