Configuring the Browser

The root certificate might already be installed on your browser, but if not, you must install it. To see

whether it is already installed, check the certificate store on your browser.

The next procedures are guides for installing root certificates to Internet Explorer and Mozilla browsers.

For more detailed instructions, refer to the documentation that came with the certificate.

To check and install root certificates on Internet Explorer

1. From the browser Tools menu, select Internet Options.

2. Click the Content tab.

3. Click Certificates.

4. Click the various tabs and scroll the lists to see if the root certificate is listed. If it is listed, you do

not need to install it, forgo the remainder of this procedure.

5. If the certificate is not listed, click Import.

6. Follow the instructions in the Certificate Import wizard to import the certificate.

To check and install root certificates on Mozilla

1. From the browser Edit menu, select Preferences.

2. In the left pane of the Preferences window, expand the Privacy & Security list and

select Certificates.

3. In the right pane, click Manage Certificates.

4. In the next window, click the Authorities tab.

5. Scroll the authorities list to see if the root certificate is listed. (For example, its name might have the

form nameRoot.crt.) If it is listed, you do not need to install it; forgo the remainder of

this procedure.

7. Browse to the certificate location and select the certificate. (For example, select nameRoot.crt.)
