        My end users will do it manually. The only difference is that they
will be presented with this action the first time they access any of my
servers.

        My point was to make end user's life easier and at the same time
force them to install the CA certificate...

        IMHO a lot security problems are located between chair and
keyboard, but that's another issue...
