Check that a certificate is authentic

Certificates are used to verify the origin of WWW pages and installed software.
However, they can only be trusted if the origin of the certificate is known to be
authentic. If you are adding a new certificate, or want to check the authenticity of
an existing certificate, proceed as follows:

1 Select the certificate and press View details. A view of certificate details opens.

2 The Subject: field identifies the owner of this certificate. Make sure that this is

the name of the party to whom you think that this certificate belongs.

3 Scroll the dialog until you see the Fingerprint: field.

4 The Fingerprint: field uniquely identifies the certificate. Contact the help desk or

customer service of the owner of the certificate (see step 2 above) and ask for
the MD5 fingerprint of the certificate. Compare the fingerprint with the one
shown in the dialog. If they match, the certificate is authentic.

Note: Use this authentication procedure each time you add a new certificate.

Add or delete certificates

To add a new certificate, press Add. A dialog opens in which you can search and
select the new certificate.

To delete a certificate, select it and press Delete.
