I installed SSL on my webserver. My question is,

1) how do I disable the SSL confirmation dialog when everytime the client access to my page without clicking yes instead.

2) I'm not using any 3rd party certificate, instead i'm using the default generate by the Certificate Services. Is it safe to use it? And why is that, I got this message from the client side "This CA Root certificate is not trusted". How do I enable it?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean the "You are about to view a page over a secure connection" dialogue box? If so, then it's created by the web browser - only the user can stop this appearing by selecting "Don't show me this again" (or however it is phrased).

... "This CA Root certificate is not trusted" ...

To get rid of this you'll need to purchase a SSL cert from Thawte, Verisign, or any other of the various CAs. Browsers *by default* only trust SSL certs that have been signed by known CAs - self-signed SSL certs (like the one you've done) will always throw up that error until the user *explicitly* says that they trust that cert.
