SSL root certificates

Hi there

One of our clients has insisted on using Verisign SSL certificates.

According to https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/ssl-certificates-support/index?page=content&id=AR657 
  I need to install the Verisign Root CA.

I thought I needed to add this to nginx config using  
ssl_client_certificate but I've tried a variety of their CA certs in  
ssl_client_certificate but I still get "This cert was signed by an  
untrusted authority".

I see from this mailing list message:

so perhaps this isn't right.

Does anybody have experience using Verisign certs with nginx?
How can I add the custom Verisign root CA?

Thanks very much,
Igor
