I'm thinking of buying a wildcard SSL cert from clickSSL :

http://www.clickssl.com/rapidssl/rapidsslwildcard.aspx

That would be a rapidssl certificate, and I was looking into my firefox options to see if RapidSSL is in the list of recognized Authorities. My certificate manager doesn't mention RapidSSL anywhere.

Am I looking for the wrong name, e.g. is rapidssl recognized by browsers under a different name? I want to be sure that this certificate is working in all major browsers (including IE6)
