MS Self signed certificate on Mac
Does anyone have an idea of how to install a Microsoft Self signed certificate on Mac OSX Leopard (10.5 onwards)?
I found this on the internet:
Follow these steps to add the certificate using the UNIX interface on Mac OS X:
1.Copy the certificate file (zie bijlage) to the root of the Macintosh hard disk drive. Do not rename the file.
2.Start the Terminal program. To do this, click Macintosh HD, click Applications, click Utilities, and then click Terminal.
3.Type “cd /” and then press Enter.
4.Type “sudo certtool i citrixCert.cer d k=/System/Library/Keychain
5.When prompted, enter the password for the local Macintosh account.
6.To verify the certificate was added correctly, type “sudo certtool y k=/System/Library/Keychain
When I try this, I receive the following error:

WARNING
The keychain you are accessing, X509Anchors, is no longer
used by Mac OS X as the system root certificate store.
Please read the security man page for information on the
add-trusted-cert command. New system root certificates should
be added to the Admin Trust Settings domain and to the
System keychain in /Library/Keychains.

We are using this certificate with our Citrix Webpage. It works perfectly on all windows machines.
Please help.

Your (mick)name is exposed! ;-)
The command looks OK to me, but I have doubts about the location. Does the certificate have to be added on system level? Or does it need to be added to a user account?
From the certtool man page:
"d Create a CSR in DER format; default is PEM"
Did you double check your typing? Does the "d" option need to be in your command?

Maybe the certificate/command prompt is at the wrong location/directory when importing it into the Keychain.

There should be a space between cd and /
Does this solve the issue?
All this command does it point your terminal window to the root of your startup volume.
