    go to someplace that issue digital security certificates (like VeriSign) and buy one.

    Or make one yourself. No point in putting down all that money if you are just going to be using it for testing purposes .

    Google for SSL certificate making for your OS, there is probably a tutorial out there.

    The way SSL certs work is by domain. So lets say he does local testing, test.domain.com, he is going to have to purchase yet another for domain.com.
    At least that is the way I understand it. Correct me if I am wrong.

    Oh ok. Was going to say that I think you can create a test one if you were running Windows Server and IIS.
