There's no way to turn off that dialog in IE except by using a cert
from a recognized CA, which usually costs money.  Using a self-signed
cert gives you a private communications channel (unless the DNS is
hijacked by an active attacker) even though it doesn't provide
authentication.  Lots of people use self-signed certs instead of
paying for commercial certs.
