You need to get your signing cert in the user's browser. Put your cert up on your website for you users to download and install.

You can, but you have to incorporate your own root cert into each client
browser.

How does GoDaddy do it with there Self Signed Certs?

It seems they use one common SSLCertificateChainFile for all of them.

How can I generate a SSLCertificateChainFile?

From what I have seen you will have to purchase a certificate from a ssl vendor. Otherwise with a ssl assigned certificate will always give out an error but this doesn't necessary mean it isn't valid. just my 2cents.

How does one become an SSL vendor?

First, you need to have a few good, high-availability servers with public IP's and a domain name.

Then you generate cert's and sell them.

The clincher - for them to be worth anything, you need to convince the major browser developers - IE, Mozilla, etc. to include your root cert with their clients. From what I've heard, this is nearly impossible.
