Note: you can get the certificate directly from http://cdp.eventide.local/ca/Eventide-Root-CA.crt / requesting it via a Helpdesk Ticket if outdated. Also, if you use Firefox as your default browser, there are some extra steps at the end of the windows guide that you need.
After downloading the certificate:
- Double click to open.
-
Click “Install Certificate”.
-
Select the second option “ Local Machine” → Next
- Select the second option "Place All certificates in the following store -> Click Browse → Select Trusted Root Certificate Authority → Click Ok → Next.
- Lastly, click Ok and Finish.
- You can make sure that the certificate is correctly installed by going to "Manage User Certificates" via your Windows Search bar,
- After opening "Manage user Certificates" go to -> "Trusted Root Certification" under Personal Certificates.
- Go to certificates and find the new certificate that was added.
Firefox users need extra steps because Firefox does not use the operating system's trust store, but implements its own trust store for certificates. Follow these steps to install the certificate into the Trusted CA list of Firefox:
- Open Firefox.
-
Open the Menu and select Settings.
- Click Privacy & Security. Scroll down and click View Certificates.
- This opens the Firefox Certificate Manager. Click the Authorities tab and then click Import then Select the certificate file from the file system(Usually in your downloads folder unless moved) and click Open.
-
A new window will pop up. Here, select Trust this CA to identify websites and click OK.
-
To verify the successful import, find the certificate EVENTIDE-ROOT-CA in the list. Then click OK and close Firefox Options.
