urgent! .cer certificate installation problem..

Hi everybody,

i am going crazy with this problem I have on Vista.

I work in a company that uses Outlook Web Access for remote emailing. I just
bought this new PC and I have the .cer file with the certificate of my
company.

I go to certificate management utility and try to import it into the correct
Folder, but even if it says that the import has been completed, the
certificate still does not appear. In this way when I try to access OWA it
shows me a certificate missing alert, and I cannot use standard outlook at
all!

Anyone has any idea about this problem?

thanks a lot,

Re: urgent! .cer certificate installation problem..

Try this.

In the Start Search box type certmgr.msc and press the enter key.

Click on View => Options.

Check the box beside Physical certificate stores.

Expand Trusted Root Certification Authorities => Local Computer.

Right click on Certificates and pick All tasks => import.

Browse to your certificate and import it.

This may not work. It all depends on the certificate. If it is a self signed
certificate from the Exchange server this will work.

Re: urgent! .cer certificate installation problem..

You're welcome. You may want to let your network administrators know about
this. Certificates are imported differently in Vista from previous versions
of Windows because of the better security in Vista.
