Self-Signed SSL Certs

With a WebTen self-signed SSL cert, Windows 98 and MSIE 5 offer the user the 
choice to proceed with a secure connection or not. In fact, MSIE asks you if 
you'd like to install the self-signed cert so as to permit it to be trusted in 
the future. Cool. One could, if desired, place a note on your site and tell 
people to expect a warning and what to do to proceed with the transaction. 

MSIE 5.1.3 on Mac OS X, however, offers no such choices. It simply refuses to 
establish a secure connection. Period. Netscape walks the user through a 
process of accepting the cert for just the current session, until the cert 
expires or not at all. Much better. 

Is there anything that can be done? Is there a way to make an installer for 
MSIE Mac?
