click OK.
Caution
Installing or removing certificates requires a system restart and terminates all active
conferences.
When you install or remove a certificate, the change is made to the certificate store
immediately, but the system can’t implement the change until it restarts and reads
the changed certificate store.
For your convenience, you’re not required to restart and apply a change
immediately. This permits you to perform multiple installs or removals before
restarting and applying the changes. But when you’re finished making changes, you
must select Restart to Apply Saved Changes to restart the system and finish your
update. Before you begin, make sure there are no active conferences and you’re
prepared to restart the system when you’re finished.
