<h1 class="topictitle1">Have users install a copy of the Local CA certificate in their browser</h1>
<div><div class="section"><p>When users access a server that provides a Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) connection, the server presents a certificate to the user's client software
as proof of its identity. The client software must then validate the server's
certificate before the server can establish the session. To validate the server
certificate, the client software must have access to a locally stored copy
of the certificate for the Certificate Authority (CA) that issued the server
certificate. If the server presents a certificate from a public Internet CA,
the user's browser or other client software must already have a copy of the
CA certificate. If, as in this scenario, the server presents a certificate
from a private Local CA, each user must use Digital Certificate Manager (DCM)
to install a copy of the Local CA certificate. </p>
<p>Each user (Clients B,
C, and D) must complete these steps to obtain a copy of a Local CA certificate: </p>

<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select the option to install the certificate. This option downloads
the Local CA certificate as a trusted root in your browser. </span> This
ensures that your browser can establish secure communications sessions with
Web servers that use a certificate from this CA. Your browser will display
a series of windows to help you complete the installation. </li>

mode, these users must be able to present an appropriate certificate to authenticate
to the server. Consequently, they must obtain a user certificate from the
