SSL on SQL Server

Hi,

I have read this article "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/276553/"; to enable SSL encryption for the SQL2000 server in my company, but I get a bit confused about below point mentioned in the articles,

"when you enable Force Protocol Encryption from the server, it encrypts the logins and data. However, it does not require the client to trust the same root authority".


Does it mean the client side doesn't need to authenticate the source of the certificate? If yes, does it imply it can not provide protection against identity spoofing attack just like the self-signed certificate in SQL2005?

Thanks.
