Installing the Certificate into Windows

On a Windows system, certificates are registered with the operating system, usually in one of two locations: the Local Machine store, or the Current User store. (This store is also known as the "Personal" or "My" store.) The Local Machine store contains certificates that may be accessed by anyone on the local computer. Only administrators may add or modify certificates in this store. The Current User store contains certificates that can be accessed only by the currently signed on user. The current user has full access to the store and may add or modify certificates in the store. MOVEit Automation accesses the Current User store when looking for certificates, and has the ability to install (or import) a certificate into this store.

• To install the certificate into Windows:

1. Log on to the Central server Admin program.
2. From the top menu, select Settings > Certs/Keys >SSL Client Certificates.

   The Manage SSL Client Certificates dialog box opens.

3. Click Import, browse to select the certificate, and click Open. At the prompt, enter the password for the certificate.

   The certificate is added to the Current User certificate store of the user under which the Central server is currently running.
