title: Adding an SSL certificate to IE without user interaction
body: <p>A while ago, I set up my company's local (non-internet) client database on my domain server, using Apache and PHP/MySQL.</p>
  
  <p>I recently decided to set it up to use an SSL connection rather than a standard HTTP connection. (I know, I should have from the beginning, but that's another matter).</p>
  
  <p>I've set up my server and my certificate successfully, but due to me being cheap and not paying a "certified" SSL signer, IE pops up an annoying dialog about not being a valid certificate.  I've figured out how to add the certificate on a single computer (see: <a href="http://www.99main.com/webmail-ssl-ie.shtml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.99main.com/webmail-ssl-ie.shtml</a>), but I have about 10 computers and don't want to install it for each user (I am only on site about 6-7 times a year, and usually not during business hours, so I can't guide each user).</p>
  
  <p>So what I am wondering is how to make it so that IE does not pop up a dialog saying that my certificate isn't signed by a reliable authority, without visiting (physically) each computer.  The way I feel is the most promising is importing the certificate using a command line script or reg-hack.  Of course, I am welcoming any other method of accomplishing my goal (is there a way to fake a certified signing authority?, etc.)</p>
  
  <p>If that is not possible, is there a way to register the certificate for all accounts on a computer (those that have signed in or not).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Brian</p>
