2If you’re using a certificate authority that isn’t listed, obtain a copy of your certificate authority’s public certificate.

The certificate must be either a single X.509 certificate or a PKCS#7 certificate chain. If it’s ASCII text, it’s in PEM format, and starts with the text -----BEGINCERTIFICATE-----. If it’s a file, it can be either PEM or DER encoded.

3In the Actions list, select Add Certificates.

4In the Add Certificates dialog, do one of the following:

If you have a file, click Upload certificate, enter the password (if any) for the file, and browse to the file or enter the path and file name.

If you have PEM-format text, copy the certificate text, click Paste certificate, and paste it into the text box below.

5Click OK.

6Verify that the certificate appears in the list as a Trusted Root CA.

7Click Restart to Apply Saved Changes, and when asked to confirm that you want to restart the system so that certificate changes can take effect, click OK.
