6.2.3. Trusting a Certificate Authority or Adding a Certificate Chain

Configuring the Directory Server to trust the certificate authority consists of obtaining the CA's
certificate (a process which varies, depending on the CA) and installing it in the server's certificate
database. Instead of a single CA certificate, some sites have a certificate chain, which is several CA
certificates in a single certificate blob. Certificate chains are treated the same as CA certificates.

2. Go to the CA Certs tab, and click Install.
