Either turn off ssl, or buy a certificate. Unfortunately unless the  
certificate authority
is known to the browser has an approved source, it will throw the  
"warning".
Which basically means, you need a certificate from GeoTrust, Network  
solutions,
Thawte, etc.

There have been a number of attempts at getting an opensource  
certificate authority going
but without approval from the browser guys (Mozilla, Microsoft, and  
Apple) it'll never fly.

I can provide GeoTrust SSL certs to PTP at cost, unfortunately that's  
still not free and there are
cheaper options out there.
