Well.. I'm not an expert in it, but it's working:

I'm using Apache and put this lines in the config file (normally 
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf):

<IfDefine SSL>
AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt
AddType application/x-x509-user-cert .ucert
AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .der
AddType application/x-pkcs7-crl    .crl
</IfDefine>

Then you create an hyperlink in a web page pointing to your self_signed.crt, or 
self_signed.der. 
Click in it and Netscape will open a window and you follow the instructions. Works 
fine with 
Netscape 4.x and 6.x, and IE also.

Bye,
