I did this on my workstation. I used it for a short while. Then I realized that I was actually putting a thing into the world that circumvents the entire security infrastructure of the world. Then I needed to do it for a server. Local only. Never production.

Then I thought, WTF am I doing?. I realized that I was making computers that would circumvent the world's security apparatus. Of course it won't hurt if I make no errors of practice or judgement but, am I really smart enough to handle highly radioactive material.

I ripped it all out. It makes me shudder thinking about it.

Then far in the future, when your own Root CA expires, then there comes all the trouble to update all the services/devices to trust the new Root CA.

This becomes a nightmare, when the original admin in the org is gone long times ago.

Please don't. I've been in orgs doing this and it sucks. There seems to just be to many edge cases, and to many custom scripts for setup.

That's not untested insofar as that's how I've always seen self-signed certs managed in an org.
