Currently I have a win2k web server with secure server ID
installed and hosting web page www.abc.com. I have tested
browsed to the web site by key in web site
https://www.abc.com and it was working fine. The
connection is as below:

Client web browser < ------------------ > web server
https://www.abc.com

Now I would like to enhance the security by introduce
digital certificate for client. I managed to setup an
additional stand-alone CA server (windows 2000 server) and
able to do the following tasks.

1. User access to stand alone CA server to request for
certificate.
2. System Administrator manually approves the user request.
3. User connects to the CA server again to download and
install certificate into web browser.

My questions are:
1. How to setup the connection for CA server and web server
2. How is the over all connection look like? (connection
A, B or C)
3. How to do the authentication?

Connection A

Client web browser < -----> CA server < ---- > web server

Connection B

Client web browser < ---- > web server < ---- > CA server

Connection C

Client web browser < --------- > web server & CA server
