</div>what are your clients/userbase? why do you have to use a commercial certificate<br>
for your server? if the clients authenticating are your clients then they can have<br>
the required private CA installed - the authentication is a closed loop. if you use<br>
a commercial cert eg thawte, verisign etc and only use that as trust then anyone can<br>
get a cert signed by that commercial CA as a first point to subverting your security<br>
