Let me illustrate...
This is the cypherpunks.p12 certificate signed by "VeriSign Web Site Access CA"
for [email protected] (Random Q. Hacker). I believe it's x509/DER.
You need to save it as a local file (say \temp\cypherpunks.p12).
The password ("pin") is "cypherpunks".
To import the certificate in your Netscape[tm] Navigator 4 browser I do this:
Click on Communicator -> Security Info
Under Certificates, click on Yours, then on "Import a Certificate"
Select the local file. Type in the pin (cypherpunks) when prompted.
(see http://www.verisign.com/netscape/transport/import.html)
begin 644 cypherpunks.p12

To import the certificate in your Microsoft[tm] Internet Explorer 4 browser,
I try:
Click on View -> Internet options -> Content tab
Click the "personal" button under Certificates
A new window opens. Click on Import
Type in the name of your local file and the password (cypherpunks).
IE simply says it can't import it, with no details!
I *assume* it's because "Vesign web site CA" isn't even listed among the
authorities IE accepts (and I'm too lasy to search the web for whatever
I need to add to IE)
