How to save a certificate with IE7? (Vista 3508)

[cf]

I'm using Vista 3508, with IE7, and when I go to my personnal internal
web site (running, hum, on my linux computer), which is https with a
self-signed certificate, IE7 goes red, and I can't find how to save the
certificate to the certs directory.
How can I do IE7 to accept this certificate as trusted, even if not
signed by a recognized authority?
Thanks

Now I've been playing around using SelfSSL, and I don't think you can. I
think it has to be a valid certificate from a certification body such as
Verisign. The certificate you've got (I presume will be the same sort of one
I have with the SelfSSL toolkit) can only be used to create an SSL socket
tunnel from one machine to another, but will be deemed insecure unless it's
a 100% from a certificate authority.

Does your personal certificate chain to another certificate? If it does,
installing that certificate in your localmachine trusted root store should
fix your problem.

I've finally copied the .crt certificate to my Vista computer,
double-click, installed in trusted root (I think I can trust myself
and it worked fine.
