Configuring the browser

The root certificate might already be installed on your browser, but if not, you must install it. To determine
whether it is already installed, check the certificate store on your browser.
The following procedures are guides for installing root certificates to Internet Explorer and Mozilla
browsers. For detailed instructions, see the documentation that came with the certificate.

Checking and installing root certificates on Internet Explorer

2. Click the Content tab.
3. Click Certificates.
4. Select the various tabs and scroll the lists to see whether the root certificate is listed. If it is listed, you
do not need to install it, and you can omit the remainder of this procedure.
5. If the certificate is not listed, click Import.
6. Follow the instructions in the Certificate Import wizard to import the certificate.
