Managing the Certificate Database
508
Netscape Certificate Management System Installation and Setup Guide • October 2001
The Certificate Setup Wizard built into the CMS window automates the process of
installing trusted CA certificates in the certificate database. For instructions on
using the wizard, see “Using the Wizard to Install a Certificate or Certificate
Chain” on page 471.
Installing a CA Certificate Chain in the Certificate
Database
Any client or server software that supports certificates maintains a collection of
trusted CA certificates in its certificate database. These CA certificates determine
which other certificates the software can validate—in other words, which issuers of
certificates the software can trust. In the simplest case, the software can validate
only certificates issued by one of the CAs for which it has a certificate. It’s also
possible for a trusted CA certificate to be part of a chain of CA certificates, each
issued by the CA above it in a certificate hierarchy; for details on certificate
hierarchies and certificate chains, see "How CA Certificates Are Used to Establish
Trust" in Appendix D of Managing Servers with Netscape Console.
NOTE
Be sure to choose the “Other Trusted CAs” option in Step 2 of the
wizard process.
