17.6.3 Installing Certificates on Your Web Browser
Browsers keep a list of trusted Certificate Authorities (CA) in order to verify SSL certificates. A default list
of CA's is included with the browser software. New CA's can be added to the browser by the user.
Since the DragonWave certificate does not commonly appear in a browser’s list of authorities, you will
need to install it yourself. Once you have installed the DragonWave certificate in your browser’s
database for trusted root authorities, you can securely communicate with devices running the Horizon
Compact Plus Secure Web server.
Please refer to your Web browser's documentation for instructions on installation of certificates on your
particular browser.
These instructions are provided as an example as to how to install the certificate in Mozilla FireFox
version 3.5.6.
Note 1: As of this release the CLI command “save certificate ftp”, as demonstrated in step 1 of
Procedure 16-6, is not yet a valid command. Log onto the DragonWave Inc. web site and download
the certificate file “dwicacert.pem” and continue Procedure 16-6 starting at step 2.
