need SSL but don't need security alert

If the certificate is not issued by a certificate authority that the client's browser has stored as a root certificate, the browser will generate the untrusted certificate alert. You could either install a root certificate on every browser that will connect to the virtual server, get a valid certificate authority issued certificate or live with the browser security alert.

 

 

Many cert authorities offer a cheap certificate service. Godaddy is one of the cheapest that is recognized by all major browsers (http://www.whichssl.com/comparisons/low.html).
