In KDE you can usually accept this self signed certificate
and then you don't get asked again.
The same it true for many webclients, like Konqueror, Mozilla or Firebird.

Both is a possibility if you want to get rid of this questions for more users.
Kolab only creates a self signed certificate, thus nobody
but your server itself certifies this certificate. That is why the question
is asked. If the webbrowser or system already includes a root certificate
and you get a certificate from it, this can be trusted a lot easier.

The mod_ssl documentation might help you with further questions.
