If users don’t have the GlobalSign root certificate installed and they go to a server secured through a GlobalSign SSL Certificate, the browser will ask them if they will trust certificates issued by GlobalSign. If they answer yes, the GlobalSign root certificates will be installed automatically. If they answer no, they can still choose to accept the secure session they are about to start but the next time they will receive the exact same question from their browser.
