Add SpammerTrap Certificate to GPO |
|
|
OverviewThis document will assist in importing the root certificate for the SpammerTrap into an Active Directory Group Policy Object (GPO). This will fix the issue with Internet Explorer displaying alerts that the site you are visiting has a certificate that is not in your trusted list. Note that in IE7 the warning changed from an innocuous popup to a full screen warning, recommending that the user not proceed to the site. This is normal and nothing to be worried about, but if you do not wish to see the warning, you can import the server's certificate into your organization's trusted root certificates list. It is expected that the domain administrator or network administrator will use this how-to.
On the SpammerTrapLogin to the SpammerTrap's web GUI as the site or domain administrator and browse to the Help section. Right-click and save the Download Certificate link and save the certificate to your hard drive. On the Domain ControllerLog into a Domain Controller with administrative access and open the group policy editor. Choose a group policy to edit, as shown.
Expand Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Public Key Policies\Trusted Root Certification Authorities, as shown below.
Right click in the empty area to the right and select import. This will start the Certificate Import Wizard. Click next to begin. Browse to the location of the SpammerTrap certificate and click next.
The wizard should automatically place the certificate in the correct store, as shown. Click Next, then Finish to complete the wizard.
