Export CA Certificate
You have chosen to create your own certificate authority which
issues your ClearBox server certificate. The server sends it to
wireless clients during handshake when establishing a TLS secure
channel. A client should be able to validate the server certificate
in order to decide whether it trusts the server or not. So, besides
verifying the certificate expiration date, it should see that the
certificate was issued by some authority which the client
trusts.
Initially, the client knows nothing about your own created CA,
and will deny the server certificate. This may be solved by placing
the CA certificate into the client's trusted root CAs store.
Run Certificates Wizard and select this step:
Specify where the root CA certificate will be saved:
Click Next. Now the certificate is exported.
Deliver it on a client computer and run it:
Click Install Certificate. Click
Next to install, Next to agree
with the automatically selected certificate store, click
Finish.
Security warning will be shown:
Answer Yes. Now the root certificate is
installed, and the server certificate is trusted.
