certificate questions

[Will Jaynes <jaynes@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm taking a look at the JavaCosign filter and would like to set it up 
on my development workstation. The install section of the README.txt 
file talks about creating a keystore and a certificate and a signing 
request, and then "Have your CA sign the CSR". This brings up a couple 
questions for me:

1) The certificate requires a CN. I assume this should be a domain name, 
and I assume the dn should be that of the machine the certificate will 
be used on. Are those assumptions correct? My development workstation 
doesn't have a domain name. It's a DHCP client and only has an IP, and 
not always the same IP. Is this going to be a problem with regard to the 
certificate?

2) Who is my CA, and where do I send the CSR to have it signed?

thanks for any info,
Will
