Oh god, this is embarassing. Something that you wrote in there clicked, and I went back to my archives, and found that I actually wrote a miniHowto for my local LUG on precisely this about 16 months ago. So I have actually implemented what you wrote, just that I forgot about it. This also means that, unforunately, doing just this is not enough to prevent the "self-signed certificate" warning. But thanks to that, I got on the right direction: turns out that my department switched from using a self-signed certificate to using one from IPSCA, so I've been barking up the wrong tree when trying to solve the problem. The link that I gave was, apparent to me now, old, and so importing that cert had no impact. I went and imported the IPSCA root cert and now all's good.
