Jim,
        I think it's just a bug in IE (that it doesn't prompt with the
unknown CA root dialog).  I gave up trying to figure that out and installed
my CA certificate (.pem) into IE under   Tools->Internet Options->Content->
Certificates->Trusted Root Certifcate Authorities and hit import.  Now
everything
works fine.

Joel
