Import certificates using the Windows Certificate Wizard (Windows only)

If you use the Windows certificate store to organize your certificates, you can import certificates using a wizard in

Windows Explorer. To import certificates, identify the file that contains the certificates, and determine the file location.

1 In Windows Explorer, right-click the certificate file and choose Install PFX.

2 Follow the onscreen instructions to add the certificate to the Windows certificate store.

3 If you are prompted to validate the certificate before installing it, note the MD5 digest and SHA1 digest values

(fingerprint). Contact the originator of the certificate to confirm that the values are correct before you trust the

certificate. Click OK.

Verify information on a certificate

The Certificate Viewer dialog box provides user attributes and other information about a certificate. When others

import your certificate, they often want to check your fingerprint information against the information they receive with

the certificate. (The fingerprint refers to the MD5 digest and SHA1 digest values.) You can check certificate information

for your digital ID files or the ID files that you import.

For more information about verifying certificates, see the Digital Signatures User Guide (PDF) at

www.adobe.com/go/learn_acr_security_en.

The Certificate Viewer dialog box provides the following information:

• Certificate validation period

• Intended use of the certificate

• Certificate data, such as the serial number and public key method

You can also check if the certificate authority has revoked the certificate. Certificates are typically revoked when an

employee leaves the company or when security is compromised in some way.

Verify your own certificate

1 Select Preferences > Signatures. In Identities & Trusted Certificates, and click More.

2 Select your digital ID, and then click Certificate Details .

Verify information on the certificate of a contact

1 Select the Signatures pane and choose. In the Options menu, select Show Signature Properties.

2 Select Show Signer’s Certificate to see details of the certificate.

Delete a certificate from trusted identities

1 Select Preferences > Signatures. In Identities & Trusted Certificates, and click More.

2 Select the certificate, and click Remove ID.
