Are we thinking of the same thing when we describe a CA Certificate?  To me (I 
sell a few hundred Certificates a year but I certainly don't know everything, 
the CA Certificate is NOT the Site Certificate, it's what needs to be 
installed in addition to the Site Certificate when you buy Certificates from 
certain vendors.

For example, Comodo Certificates require a CA Cert, and GeoTrust doesn't.

If that's what we mean here, then in Linux, for a single-domain server we 
install it once, and point to it from every application, and on multi-domain 
shared servers we install it separately for each user since some users will 
need on from one vendor, and others from another.

I have no idea how to do it in Windows but perhaps someone will get an insight 
from my experiences with Linux.
