If your network uses an HTTP proxy server to translate private IP addresses to routable IP
addresses, you must configure this option and enter the HTTP proxy server's DNS or IP address.

retrieve a CA certificate online, make sure that the Use HTTP proxy server for online certificate
requests and CRL updates option is selected.

dialog box opens.
2. Select the Use HTTP proxy server for online certificate requests and CRL updates check
box.
3. In the Proxy DNS name or IP address box, type the DNS or IP address.
4. Click OK.

Import a CA Certificate
In these two situations, you must import a CA certificate into the Certificate Manager:
• As part of obtaining a CA certificate manually, you downloaded a CA certificate to your
computer from the CA's Web site
• To obtain a CA certificate file that was exported from the Certificate Manager or a policy
management application
1. In the Certificate Manager, click the tab for the certificate type to import:
• For a root CA certificate, the Root CA Certificates tab
• For a CA certificate, the CA Certificates tab
If the CA certificate you import has RA certificates associated with it, these are imported with
the CA certificate.
2. Click Import Certificate. The Import CA Certificate dialog box opens.
3. Navigate to the certificate file; make sure that its name displays in the File name box.
