If you have an Apple computer with the MacOS Operating System, it is necessary to make a little adjustment for your ANF CA e-certificate to work on your computer.
Step 1: Download your ANF CA certificate
The download process is the same for all Operating Systems, whether Mac, Windows or Linux; because the download can be done from any web browser.
- When the certificate is issued, you will receive an e-mail with a link and instructions to download your certificate from the ANF CA Personal Area.
- Once the download starts, you will be able to watch an installation video-tutorial. In the case of Mac users, you will need to select installation in Safari.
Step 2: Install your ANF CA certificate
By default, for security reasons the mac OS does not trust the certificates that the user installs.
For that reason, after installing your first ANF CA certificate, this Operating System will initially block it.
If you're not sure if your ANF CA are or not blocked, you can check it out following the next steps:
- Once downloaded and unzipped the e-certificate, double-click on the file with pfx extension:
Next, enter the certificate PIN to install it:
- Open the Keychain Access application, go to the Login keychain - “All items”, and look for the certificate you just installed.
Note: You can also find the certificate in the “My certificates” tab.
In order to be able to use the certificate, the following message must appear just below the certificate details:
This certificate is marked as trusted for all users.
If you can see this message, it means that your certificate is already correctly installed and ready to use:
Note: To open the keychain application, it may ask for the password of the computer account.
What to do if the certificate is locked
In case the certificate is not marked as trusted, we must unlock it manually. To do this, please follow the next steps:
- Double-click on the certificate into the Keychain Access
- Open Trust and deploy the options in "When using this certificate"
- Change it to Always trust
Note: When doing this, you will see how the rest of the options also change to Always trust:
Next, close the window by clicking on the small red rounded button at the top left.
The system will again ask for the Mac user's password to apply the changes:
