My experience were that, when IE trying to connect to a SSL server, IE will
ask you that the certificate is untrusted and what to do with it. You
should also be able to download the CA cert by simply sending it from the
web server to IE. If you want to add the CA cert to the trusted list, IE
allows you to do so.
