In the cookbook there is an example specifically for IE.
http://www.ultranet.com/~fhirsch/Papers/cook/ssl_msclient_certs.html
The basic difference, as described in the cookbook, is when presented
a certificate, Netscape navigator can recognize it and install it on the
browser, while IE requires an ActiveX control to install the certificate.
However, the example provided in the cookbook only works for IE3.0.
For IE4.0 and later, there are some documentation in
