I think this will work.  It might be easier to purchase a certificate from one 
of the SSL cert vendors.

Subject: Authenticating with TLS against Active Directory


I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 Active Directory and a Linux box running an
application (called Collage) whose users I would like to authenticate
against the AD. The application only supports TLS, so I need a certificate.
However, I do not have the time on this job to properly design and deploy
PKI, so I'm looking for a one-off solution.

My questions are therefore:

. If I create a self-signed certificate (using SelfSSL.EXE from the IIS
reskit), install it on a Domain Controller and export it, can I use that to
authenticate my Linux application?
. Is there a better way of achieving the same goal?

Thanks in advance
Cheers

James
