Follow below mentioned steps for the installation of SecureNT Root + Intermediate CA certificate in one go using SecureNT CA-Bundle.pfx, or SecureNT CA-Bundle-PWD.pfx file.
Once installed, you can verify the installation by starting 'Manage User Certificates' in Control Panel > User Accounts. You will see them under 'Certificates' in 'Trusted Root Certification Authorities' and 'Intermediate Certification Authorities'
The above steps (Installation on Windows Clients) are sufficient to install the SecureNT Root and Intermediate certificates for Edge, Chrome and Firefox browsers.
We have noticed that the certificate needs to be imported into the Firefox browser. Use Settings > Privacy & Security > Certificates > View Certificates. You will see 'Certificate Manager'. You can use one of the below two methods to import the CA Certificates.
Method 1
Select the 'Your Certificates' tab and click 'Import'. Select SecureNT CA-Bundle.pfx, or SecureNT CA-Bundle-PWD.pfx file. Type password ('inet' or press 'Enter' if password is blank).
Method 2
Select the 'Authorities' Tab. Go to the 'Secure Network Traffic' and Select 'SecureNT Intranet Root CA'. Click 'Edit Trust' Tick 'This certificate can identify websites'. Repeat the same step for 'SecureNT Intranet Intermediate CA'
In case, you are unable to import the CA Certificates then enter 'about:config' in the address bar and continue to the list of preferences. Set the preference 'security.enterprise_roots.enabled' to true. Restart Firefox.
Even after import, if you don't see the CA certificate in the Certificate Manager then most probably Anti-virus installed on the PC is not allowing the Firefox browser to access the certificate. Create an exception or rule in the Antivirus so that SecureNT Root CA and Intermediate CA are allowed to be seen.
