Importing MyCo's local CA certificate into TheirCo's *SYSTEM certificate store

TheirCo's *SYSTEM certificate store contains a copy of most public certificate authority (CA) certificates. However, because MyCo's File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server uses a certificate from a local CA, TheirCo's FTP client must obtain a copy of the local CA certificate and import it into the *SYSTEM certificate store.

TheirCo uses these steps to import the local certificate authority certificate into the *SYSTEM certificate store and specify that it is a trusted source for certificates:

1. In the DCM navigation frame, click Select a Certificate Store and select *SYSTEM as the certificate store to open.

2. When the Certificate Store and Password page displays, provide the password that was specified for the certificate store when it was created, and click Continue.

3. After the navigation frame refreshes, select Manage Certificates to display a list of tasks.

4. From the task list, select Import certificate.

5. Select Certificate Authority (CA) as the certificate type and click Continue.

6. Specify the fully qualified path and file name for the CA certificate file and click Continue. A message displays that either confirms that the import process succeeded or provide error information if the process failed.
