The problem with doing this is that many/most enterprise IT shops use security devices to proxy SSL traffic, altering the cert that the client sees.

So unless you really understand you app's deployment scenario well, you should proceed with caution. Also note that 2% of enterprise IT people understand SSL at all, (and the devices that do the MITM part are usually controlled by the security dept) so troubleshooting will be close to impossible.

Those proxies publish their fake CA=YES certs, so you can just add them to your root and everything will validate.
