How can I import a untrusted root certificate?


I am connected via VPN to some other network outside of my computer's Domain. Everything works well except when I attempt to go to a WebSite within the VPN Tunnel (and in another domain). This is the first message:

But the issue isn't that the certificate is invalid, it's that my system cannot validate the issuer... most likely because my computer is not a part of the Domain through the VPN tunnel of which I'm accessing the web site.

So I was thinking, I just import this certificate and everything should work right?

The problem is I can't find this certificate anywhere on the system... perhaps because it doesn't exist I don't know. Does anyone know how to find this cert. as shown in the system above and import it? Is there anything else I can do to allow this CA to install it automatically?


Solution

  • The solution to this was to get the certificate from the issuer, and just install it into the Certificate Store using the Operating System. What I was trying to do above was to do it programmatically. It didn't work because the key I was seeing was only the public key.
