    Yesh.  You'll need to put your CA certificate (not private key)
    somewhere on your website.  x509 format is fine, that'll work with all
    browsers.  Then direct your viewers to it and ask them to trust it.
    When they click on the URI to your cert IE will automatically start a
    wizard allowing them to import your CA certificate.
