We've installed a certificate and have SSL working fine on our web server,
but we'd like to have it on our developer computers as well.  Do we really
have to buy separate certificates for each developer?  Is there an easier
and/or cheaper way to get https working in a developer environment where we
don't really need the same level of security we want on the production
server?

Just download the tools for the IIS resource kit tools (SelfSSL), generate
your own test certs, and install them.

you can download trial SSL cert from Verisign or Entrust web site for a
period of time.

Thank you!  This is exactly what I was hoping existed.

Also, if you have Windows Advanced Server, there is Certificate Authority
component in it, which you can use to set up your own CA in your dev team
and issue certificates using nice web interface.
