Install the Certificate Authority Trust Anchors

The most current root certificates must be installed on both servers and workstations. InstallRoot is a utility that manages certificates for DoD and Network Security Services (NSS)-trusted root and intermediate CAs on Microsoft servers and workstations.

To download, install, and run the NIPRNet InstallRoot application:

  2. Under the Tools heading, download the latest Windows Installer (MSI) version of InstallRoot.

  3. Run the InstallRoot installation tool.

    Note

    Administrative rights are required when installing the InstallRoot application under the C:\Program Files\ location on the system.

  4. Run the tool as an administrator to install the DoD certificates into the Windows/Internet Explorer local machine trust store.
