Import a CA Reply
To import a CA Reply into a Key Pair:
- Right-click on the Key Pair entry in the KeyStore Entries
table. Select Import CA Reply -> From File or
From Clipboard from the pop-up menu.
- If required the Unlock Entry dialog will be displayed.

- Click on the required CA Reply file or type the filename
into the File Name text box.
- Click on the Import button.
- If the Import CA Reply Trust Check
is enabled and the CA Reply file contains a single certificate:
- If KeyStore Explorer can establish a trust path between
the certificate and an existing self-signed Trusted
Certificate in your KeyStore or the
Authority Certificates
then the import will continue.
Otherwise it will fail at this point.
- Alternatively if the Import CA Reply Trust Check
is enabled and the CA Reply file contains a chain of certificates:
- KeyStore Explorer will attempt to match the reply's root CA
to an existing Trusted Certificate in your KeyStore or the
Authority Certificates.
- If it cannot then the Certificate Details dialog will appear
displaying the details of the reply's root CA certificate for you to
verify.
- After viewing the details close the dialog by pressing the
OK button.
- A further dialog will appear asking if you wish accept the
certificate.
- Press the Yes button if you wish to trust the certificate
and import the CA Reply and No if you do not. If you reply
No the import will fail at this point.
- The Key Pair entry will be updated to reflect the content of the CA Reply.
