SSL from Android phone to static IP address

[Resonant]

My goal is to use SSL to connect from my Android phone to a static IP address in my home. I successfully installed the Tomcat server and used its "keytool" to create a free SSL certificate. That worked great.

The problem is the Subsonic app for Android won't trust the certificate I generated. It complains: "Error: Connection failure. Not trusted server certificate." I'd like to be able to override this, but I can't?

I'd be happy to buy a more official certificate, but I don't see how this works since I just have a static IP address and not an actual domain.

I can connect from the web browser on my Android phone to my home Subsonic server using https. It warns the certificate is not trusted, but I can override that and connect anyway. That's exactly how I'd like the Subsonic client to operate.

I'd also be happy just using the Android web browser to access my music. Unfortunately, to actually play the music it seems to depend on a Flash player which isn't available for Android yet.

Thanks for any thoughts you might have!
