Overview

This page describes the process to import the admin certificate into Firefox such that the certificate can be used to access the admin web UI.

This document assumes that the admin certificate and the key are stored in a PKCS #12 file (e.g. ~/.dogtag/pki-tomcat/ca_admin_cert.p12) after CA installation, and the PKCS #12 file is protected with a password specified in the pki_client_pkcs12_password parameter during installation.

Make sure Firefox has the permission to read the PKCS #12 file.

Importing Admin Certificate

To import the PKCS #12 file into Firefox:

  • open Application Menu → Preferences

  • click Privacy & Security

  • click View Certificates…​

  • click Your Certificates

  • click Import…​

  • select the PKCS #12 file

  • enter the PKCS #12 password

The certificate should appear in the list of certificates.
