Help on installing Certificates in Vista IE7
Our mail server requires a certificate to be installed in order to access
the mail through the web. When I pull up the address it ask if I want to continue to the site. I say yes. Then it flashes red at the top and shows the word CERTIFICATE in red. I click on it and click VIEW but it doesnt give me the option to install it. I then put the website in the Trusted Domains group under the Security Tab of IE7. I went back to the site and it would allow me to install the certificate now. However each time I go back to the website it still acts like no certificate was installed. How do I install certificates so they will actually take affect and stay? |

The easiest way to do that is to elevate IE. Right-click the Internet Explorer icon and select Run as administrator... Then navigate to the site and open the cert they way you did before. Now the option to install the cert is enabled. --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 |

What if you're not an administrator? Do you have to get an administrator to type in his password to get the certificate installed on your machine? Can you not simply download the certificate as a CER file, and then install it manually?

Do you have to get an administrator to type in his password to get the certificate installed on your machine? Uhm, yes. Installing new root certificates that are trusted by man and beast (and kernels) alike is a decidedly administrative operation - not to be trusted to the untrustworthy. |

Ok I went into IE 7 and turned off the Protected Mode. Went and installed
the certificate and it says Certificate Installed Succesful. However when I exit IE7 and go back into the same web page it still ask for the certificate. What do I do now?

It is more likely that the certificate you're installing is actually an intermediate certificate rather than a root certificate, which is what you need to install in order to get rid of the error message.

Without the URL so I can look at the certificate there's not much more I can do for you. -- Paul Adare MVP - Windows - Virtual Machine http://www.identit.ca "The English language, complete with irony, satire, and sarcasm, has survived for centuries without smileys.
