Anything that has to do with SSL (and security) has to be hard, by definition ;).
Anyway, this should not be that hard. If it has worked on your test system, chances are it will work seamlessly on your production system. From the looks of it, it appears that you are now asked to trust a new root CA cert which should be okay, if the clients are made aware of this new CA cert.
