∟Using Certificates in IE

This chapter provides tutorial notes and example codes on using certificates in IE (Internet Explorer). Topics include why Web browsers need certificates; viewing the certificate from an https Web server; installing the certificate from a server; exporting a certificate from IE to a certificate file; importing a certificate into IE.

Visiting a "https" Web Site with IE

Viewing Certificate Details

Viewing Certificate Path

Installing Certificate Permanently in IE

Managing Certificates in Certificate Stores with IE

Exporting Certificates Out of IE

OpenSSL Viewing Certificates Exported from IE

Importing CA Certificate into IE

Importing Certificate Path into IE

Conclusions:

Web browsers need certificate from Web servers, if they are using https (SSL protocol) to encrypt messages to secure the communication.
IE allows you to view server's certificate through the lock icon.
IE allows you to install server's certificate into certificate stores.
IE allows you to export and import certificates in certificate files in DER and PEM formats.
