Installing VeriSign Trial Certificate into Browser

(not necessary when you buy the "real" certificate)

Follow the link to VeriSign's Trial Root CA Certificate and save the file to a file with a .cer extension, for example trial.cer.

Then follow these steps:

Open IE.
Go to Tools > Internet Options.
Select the Content Tab.
Click Certificates.
Click Import.
Follow the wizard and guide it to the .cer file you saved from VeriSign.
Select "Automatically select the certificate store based on the type of the certificate" when you get there.
Select "Automatically select the certificate store based on the type of the certificate" when you get there.
Finish the Wizard.

The Trial Root CA Certificate is now installed and you should no longer get any warnings about the validity of your certificate.

NOTE: You will need to install the Trial Root CA Certificate into every instance of IE that you, or your customers, want to use – if you want to avoid the warnings.
