Can anybody confirm this - is SSL ok?

Hi there,

I tried a version of freeSSL. When logging in to an account on the server with https, clicking on the lock to the right at the bottom of the browsers shows:

"Certificate is self-signed and thus may not be trustworthy"

Is it correct that this is because the CSR and key were generated via WHM and not at a signing company like Verisign or Thawte? I were told that this were the reason why this error comes up when it is tried to be accessed by other users. But I were also told that this does not affect the secure transfer in any way and that the above error message could very well be ignored.

Can anybody confirm this?

Thanks
John
