Question : SSL Certificates - Client Certificates using 3rd Party SSL Certificates

I run an IIS 6 website which relies on Client SSL Certificates tied to specific user accounts for two-factor authentication.

The process I use is similar to:

Currently, my Certificate Authority relies on a self-signed Server Certificate.  I would like to move away from a self-signed Server Certificate and move to a trusted certificate provided by another entity like Godaddy.

Godaddy tech support suggests that this isn't possible using their certificates.

Is Godaddy tech support wrong? Am I stuck using self-signed server certificates?  Can I get this from some other SSL Certificate provider?

Answer : SSL Certificates - Client Certificates using 3rd Party SSL Certificates

note that the signed certificate presented by the webserver doesn't have to be the same as the CA certificate used to sign the client certificates, or issued by this - you should be able to just drop a normal webserver certificate into your current setup and have it work fine, client certs certified by yourself and server certs issued by a CA.
