Installing root certificates onto a Windows client

After you have installed root certificates on your storage system, you must also install them on your Windows clients.

Steps

1. Download the root certificate (in CER format, if possible) from the certificate authority's web site.
2. If the root certificate is not in CER format it, convert it to CER format.

   You can convert the certificate using the openssl utility. For more information, search the Internet for "openssl."

3. Start the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

   From the Start menu, choose Run. Then enter mmc.

4. Right-click the Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder in the Certificates (Local Computer) store, and then select Import from the All Tasks menu. Then use the Certificate Import wizard to import the root certificate.
