Have a client that we exchange information with (via web based portal) using a certificate that they have provided to our company. &nbsp;We have incorporated this functionality into another web based application.<br />
<br />
When we import the .p12 certificate they provided manually on a computer, everything works fine, however we have been trying to get it to push out using a domain policy rather than manually installing this thing on every computer, and when it expires, repeating the process.<br />
<br />
Efforts to add it to the domain policy editor under <br />
&gt;&nbsp; computer configuration/windows settings/Public Key Policies/Trusted Root Certification Authorities<br />
results in it effectively not being installed (though looking on the computer it is there, the web page simply does not display because the certificate is not there... catch 22).<br />
<br />
Manually going to a computer and importing the certificate, everything works as expected.<br />

Thoughts, ideas, something I am misunderstanding?
