Trust Checks Configuration


Chain of Trust Checks can be enabled or disabled. This is relevant when importing Trusted Certificates and CA replies. Disabling trust checks simplifies these import processes at the cost of security. In addition, enabling trust checks for CA Reply imports has the advantage of automatically completing key pair chains to any trusted root (if present).

To configure the Trust Checks:

  1. From the Tools menu, choose Preferences.

    Mac OS users: From the KeyStore Explorer menu, choose Preferences.

  2. The Preferences dialog will be displayed. Select the Trust Checks tab.

  3. Tick or untick the Import Trusted Certificate and Import CA Reply check boxes to enable and disable the trust checks as required.

  4. Press the OK button to save your settings and dismiss the Preferences dialog.
