Installing a Purdue Certificate

Installing your Purdue certificate in your web browser is a straightforward process:

1. Place your key and certificate floppy disk in your computer.
   
   
2. Launch the appropriate security program.
   • Under Internet Explorer, the option is under Tools...Internet Options...Content...Certificates
   • Under Netscape Communicator, click on the Security Button and select "Yours" under Certificates.
   
   
   
3. Select "Import" to install your Purdue Certificate into the certificate database used by the browser.
   • When prompted for the file, browse the contents of your floppy and select the file with a ".p12" extension.
   • When prompted for a pass phrase protecting the key and certificate file, enter the pass phrase that accompanied your floppy disk.
   • If asked, mark the private key as exportable; this step will allow you to back up your personal certificate.
   
   
   
4. Click OK to complete the import procedure.
