To Make Your Client Certificate Available to Netscape Console on
Windows NT
1.
Open the folder containing Netscape Communicator. For example,
C:\Program Files\Netscape
.
2.
Open the
Users
folder and then open your specific user folder. For example,
BJensen
(
C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\BJensen
).
3.
Copy the
key3.db
,
cert7.db
, and
secmod.db
files from your user folder to the
C:\WINNT\Profiles\your_user_ID\.mcc
folder, where
your_user_ID
is
the ID that you use to log in to Windows NT.
These are the certificate database files that Netscape Console uses during client
authentication. These files are only used by Netscape Console. Administration
Server creates and uses its own certificate database files.
To Establish a Secure Connection With an Instance of Administration
Server
