2 Right-click the Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificates folder and click All Tasks >
Import.
3 In the Certificate Import wizard, click Next and browse to the location where the root CA certificate
is stored.
4 Select the root CA certificate file and click Open.
5 Click Next, click Next, and click Finish.
6 If your server certificate was signed by an intermediate CA, import all intermediate certificates in the
certificate chain into the Windows local computer certificate store.
a Go to the Certificates (Local Computer) > Intermediate Certification Authorities >
Certificates folder.
b Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each intermediate certificate that must be imported.
What to do next
Configure the appropriate registry key with the certificate thumbprint. See Set the Certificate Thumbprint
in the Windows Registry.
Set the Certiļ¬cate Thumbprint in the Windows Registry
To allow the HTML Access Agent to use a CA-signed certificate that was imported into the Windows
certificate store, you must configure the certificate thumbprint in a Windows registry key. You must take
this step on each desktop on which you replace the default certificate with a CA-signed certificate.
Prerequisites
Verify that the CA-signed certificate is imported into the Windows certificate store. See Import a Certificate
for the HTML Access Agent into the Windows Certificate Store.
Procedure
1 In the MMC window on the View desktop where the HTML Access Agent is installed, navigate to the
Certificates (Local Computer) > Personal > Certificates folder.
2 Double-click the CA-signed certificate that you imported into the Windows certificate store.
3 In the Certificates dialog box, click the Details tab, scroll down, and select the Thumbprint icon.
4 Copy the selected thumbprint to a text file.
For example: 31 2a 32 50 1a 0b 34 b1 65 46 13 a8 0a 5e f7 43 6e a9 2c 3e
Note When you copy the thumbprint, do not to include the leading space. If you inadvertently paste
the leading space with the thumbprint into the registry key (in Step 7), the certificate might not be
configured successfully. This problem can occur even though the leading space is not displayed in
the registry value text box.
5 Start the Windows Registry Editor on the desktop where the HTML Access Agent is installed.
