Providing Trusted Root for Server Certificates

Use

If a server certificate, such as the one on Connection Server (CoS), is issued by a trusted public Certification Authority (CA), the browser on the client workstation accepts the server certificate automatically. If the certificate is created with a non-trusted CA, a corresponding certificate must be installed on each client workstation. Ask for the CA certificate from the CA, or from your local certificate server administrator.

Procedure

  1. Copy the CA certificate on the desktop.

  2. Double-click the certificate and choose the option Install Certificate.

    Or, if you are using the Vista operating system,

    • Choose Tools > Internet Options > Content > Certificates.

    • Choose Import and browse the certificate you copied.

    • Select the Show physical stores check box, and expand Trusted Root Certification Authority > Local Computer.
