Installing CA Certificates on Mac OSX
The tool for handling CA Certificates, server certificates etc on OSX
is called "certtool". Firstly, make a copy of the system trusted
keychain in your home directory, so you can work on it using certtool.
Do that with:
MAKE A BACKUP !
sudo cp /System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors /System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors.orig
Local Copy
cp /System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors ~/Library/Keychains/
Now, install the PEM formatted certificate into your local trusted
keychain with:
certtool i mail.dpdtech.net.crt k=X509Anchors
certtool i webmail.dpdtech.com.crt k=X509Anchors
This should install the certificate. If you have problems, check the certificate
format (shouldn't be binary), and check the manual for certtool.
Once the certificate is in your keychain, you need to make it system
wide. You do this by copying (as root / using sudo) your trusted
keychain back as the system one, with something like:
sudo cp ~/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors /System/Library/Keychains/
sudo cp ~/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors /System/Library/Keychains/
With that
done, restart Safari, Mail etc, and they should then pick up the new CA
certificate.
Note that this will not affect Mac IE, Entourage etc. For those, install
the certificate as normal for IE
