Is there a way to create a multi-domain SSL using self-signed methods? I would like to put multiple domains on one SSL certificate to be used across many websites on the same server.

About 5, but it's for development purposes and I will have the client certificates installed on PC's that will access the sites (intranet). For my real sites, I already bought them cheap from GoDaddy.
But for development and educational purposes, I was hoping to create a multi-domain SSL myself. Have the brilliant web gurus discovered the process in creating Unified Communications Certificates yet, or is it still a "coporate secret"?
self-signed cert is not very good for business; however, you don't want your cert to be blacklisted if your site runs into issue while still developing, so create self-signed cert for testing first then substitute w/ real one when ready
anyway, follow this guide to setup ssl and including links for obtaining free trusted cert ;)

No, not undoable.

This should guide you in the right direction. By default IIS does not deal with subject alternatives, so there is a small fix command to run, the article should guide you through it.

Avoid using self signed certificates if possible, because clients will not trust them, you will have to manually install them on all devices.
UCC certificates are very cheap nowadays, £40 a year is the cheapest I've seen for a 5 domain UCC. How many websites are you talking about?
