Click Show Certificate to view the new certificate.
At the bottom of the page is a button labeled Import Your Certificate.
Normally, you would mail this page to the requestor, or the Certificate
Manager would mail the requestor an automatic notification containing the
certificate and instructions.

Since you made the request yourself from this computer, go ahead and click
Import Your Certificate to import the certificate into your browser.
You have now designated
User1
as an agent. Since you have already issued a
certificate in the name of
User1
, you can now present that certificate to access the
Agent Services pages.
User1
is an agent, but not an administrator; as
User1
, you
can manage certificate requests, but you cannot access Netscape Console’s CMS
window to configure the system.
Setting Your Browser to Use the Agent Certificate
To verify that the
User1
certificate really can access the agent pages, you must first
set your browser to use the
User1
certificate to identify you to web sites. To do this
in Communicator 4.x, for example, follow these steps:
1.
Click the Security button in the Navigation toolbar near the top of the window.
2.
Click Navigator in the left-hand frame.
3.
From the drop-down list labeled “Certificate to identify you to a web site,”
select your
User1
certificate.
4.
Click OK.
Testing Your New Certificate
Clear the browsers cached security information so that it will ask for a new
certificate when you view the agent gateway.
1.
Go to any other web page that is not part of Agent Services (such as
http://home.siroe.com
).
2.
Return to the Agent Services pages at the URL for the SSL agent port that you
specified.
For example:
https://myhost.mydomain.com:8100
You should be able to access the Agent Services pages without any difficulty,
as long as you are using the same computer from which you requested and
imported the
User1
certificate.
