Yes, of course you could use it.

​

The common idea with SSL profiles is to use a certificate signed by a public CA in the client side and to use a selfsigned certificate (or signed by an internal CA) in the server side. This will help you to save money.

​

Actually, I would only pay for a certificate signed by a public CA in client side and when this service is exposed to internet...
