get certs signed by a real CA

[price]

It's poor that users outside MIT or who otherwise haven't installed the MIT CA to be trusted get warnings when they visit scripts pages. We can get a cert for <$20/yr for scripts.mit.edu, and for $200/yr (maybe less) for *.scripts.

​http://rapidsslonline.com offers $12/yr for one host, $132/yr for a wildcard (when it's five years at a time.) The CA is GeoTrust?, said to be present in all browsers back to ancient versions.

At Monday's meeting, the Board approved a $900 allocation for this purpose.

Reading the minutes, I wanted to make sure that you were aware that in at least some situations, mitcert@… will generate GeoTrust? signed certs ... Assuming you haven't already, it's probably worth investigating this possibility before going out and buying from some random vendor.

Probably we should follow this suggestion.
