Step E. Make Sure the CA is Trusted by the Browser
When you downloaded the client certificate to the browser, the Certificate
Manager's certificate chain also was downloaded to the browser's certificate
database. Make sure that the Certificate Manager's CA signing certificate is trusted
in the browser's certificate database; this is required for proper chaining during
certificate validation.
In the browser, open the Personal Security Manager interface.
