4.6.3 Installing Certificates on Your Web Browser
Browsers keep a list of trusted Certificate Authorities (CA) in order to verify SSL certificates. A default list
of CA's is included with the browser software. New CA's can be added to the browser by the user.
Since the Allegro Software Development Corporation certificate does not commonly appear in a
browser’s list of authorities, you will need to install it yourself. You must first verify that it has a valid
thumbprint or fingerprint. Once you have installed the Allegro certificate in your browser’s database for
trusted root authorities, you can securely communicate with devices running the Horizon SSL server.
Please refer to you Web browser's documentation for instructions on installation of certificates on your
particular browser.
These instructions are provided as an example as to how to install the certificate in Internet Explorer
versions 5.5 and 6. Earlier versions of Internet Explorer may work as well.
