I need to access a clients https website.The client has provided two digital certificates which are required for accessing the website. The certificate names are BuiltinObjectToken-RSASecurity2048v3.crt and RSAPublicRootCAv1.crt respectively. My machine is running Ubuntu 10.10. I was able to install the certs on a windows machine by double clicking on each cert file. What is the procedure for installing the certs on my Ubuntu machine ?.

Please Help Thank You

What you're looking to do is called installing a client certificate. You're right; it's a bit different from setting up a certificate in Apache. For client certs, you import them so that your browser can send them to the websites to verify authentication for access.

Which browser are you trying to use them in? Here is a guide for Firefox:

  • Sorry, so you need to install an existing cert file, perhaps this helps linux.about.com/od/ubusrv_doc/a/ubusg25t14.htm
