About this task
View the default trusted roots in the key ring file to
make sure the third-party CA's certificate is not already included.
If it is already included, you do not need to complete these steps.
Procedure
- Make sure that you requested the server certificate and
mapped a drive to the directory that contains the key ring file.
- Browse to the Web site of the CA and obtain the CA's trusted
root certificate. In most cases, the trusted root certificate is in
a file attachment, or the certificate is available for you to copy
to the Clipboard.
- From the Domino Administrator,
open the Server Certificate Admin application.
- Click Install Trusted Root Certificate into
Key Ring.
- Enter the name of the key ring file that will store this
certificate. You specified this name when you created the server certificate
request.
- Enter the name that the key ring file will use to identify
this certificate. If you leave this field blank, Domino uses the distinguished name of the
certificate.
- Do one of the following:
- If you copied the contents of the CA's certificate to the
Clipboard in Step 2, choose Clipboard in the Certificate
Source field. Paste the Clipboard contents into the next
field.
- If you received a file that contained the CA's certificate
in Step 2, detach the file to your hard drive and select File in
the Certificate Source field. Enter the file name in the File name
field.
- Click Merge Trusted Root Certificate into Key
Ring.
- Enter the password for the key ring file, and then click OK.
