[users@httpd] [OFFTOPIC]looking up trusted certs on clients browser

Hello, 

            Does anyone on this list know of a way to retrieve the list
of certificates that a clients' browser trusts? We now issue a
self-signed certificate and I would like to verify if the client has our
cert before bumping his connection to https. 

            Thanks. 

                        R

It depends on the browser.
On NS7:
Edit->Preferences->Privacy&Security->Certificates->Manage Certificates
On Firefox:
Tools->Options->Advanced->Certificates->Manage Certificates
On IE:
Tools->Internet Options->Content->Certificates
