I'm still unclear about "installing the certificate". My
experience with SSL is light. I have a certificate I've
purchased from GeoTrust. It installs on the web server. I
enable SSL for the site on the server and the internet
users go the site using HTTPS: and SSL kicks in. Nothing
(installed) was required on the internet users end in the
past???

Thanks much.
Bob
