• To install your Root Certificate:

• Right click the Trusted Root Certification Authorities, select All Tasks, then select Import.

• When the wizard is completed, click Finish.
• To install the Intermediate Certificate/Certificates:

• Right click the Intermediate Certification Authorities, select All Tasks, select Import.

(note you will need to repeat this step for all the intermediate certificates that are sent to you.)

Once these are installed, you may need to restart the server.
