Cisco Unified Mobility Adv 7 - ASA certificates issue

Question

Dear All,
I have Mobility Advantage 7 that i am trying to use with CUCM 7.1 and ASA.
Now i have come to know that you must have a certificate from Verisign or Geotrust installed in the ASA in order for the mobility to work.
Is there any other way we can make the mobility work without OR self-signed certificates???
its urgent and any help in this reference is higly appreciated.

If I recall correctly, we did a pilot of CUMA and we did not have to have a
certificate from Verisign. Since it was a pilot, the customer didn't want to
pay for the cert if it wasn't going to be needed long term. So, we used a
self-signed cert on the ASA. The "problem" or side-effect was that the
mobile users were constantly prompted to state they trusted the cert. In a
way, our hands were tied with respect to trying to make that cosmetic issue
disappear. It was an all BB shop and the admin had tight controls on the
BES.
Regardless, my recollection is that we were able to get away with it but
that if the customer decided to go full bore that we would need to do the
Verisign cert.
HTH.
Regards,
Bill
