Click the Download File button and a file named amigopod Certificate Authority.p7b will be downloaded (the precise name depends on the common name for the CA certificate). This file must be imported as a trusted root certification authority on any client wishing to authenticate using this RADIUS Server. The reason for this is that the server's identity must be established via a trusted root CA in order for authentication to proceed. When using a well-known third party CA, this step does not need to be performed as the necessary trust relationship already exists in most clients. Importing a root CA in Windows Vista See the following screenshots for guidance. Open the .p7b file from Windows Explorer: Select the certificate in the list. Right-click it and choose Open
