How can I self-host the privileged or certified Firefox OS application on my web server?

We have developed a Firefox OS application. Now that I want to install the application in Firefox OS device from my local webserver,I have followed the steps given in this link:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Marketplace/Options/Self_publishing

Now that I am able to host the application and install in device from the link pointing to that web server. This scenario is working only if the application "manifest.webapp" is having 

"type":"web"

or if we are not defining any "type".

It is failed to install when I change the "type" in manifest.webapp file to 

"type":"certified"

or 

"type":"privileged"

Is there any other change I do have to make so that certified and privileged applications also become installable?

As of now certified apps are giving only to the OEM and Firefox OS development team can make. Normal developers can't make it.

Usually Privileged apps should be submitted to Official Firefox Marketplace, these app will have to undergo Code review before they are pushed to Marketplace, for downloading.

Check https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Security/Security_model#Secure_App_Update_Process
