Retrieve CA certificate - install or save to file

The Certification Authority (CA) certificate is used by Web Browsers and Web Servers to verify the CA signature on the certificates they receive when attempting to set up secure sessions.
 
You can enable server authentication by retrieving and importing the CA certificate into user's browsers (server authentication also requires that you install a Web Server certificate on your Web Server).
 
You can enable client authentication by retrieving and installing a CA certificate on your Web Server(client authentication also requires that you install browser certificates on user's browsers).
 
If you select this option, the Certification Authority (CA) certificate will be downloaded to your computer. It can be saved to a file, or/and installed on your computer.
 
When you choose to install the certificate, you will be guided through a wizard to choose a certificate store where this certificate will be placed.
 
Use this option to import a CA certificate into your Web Browser or IIS Web Server.
