Import trusted CA certificates

PRISMAsync Print Server needs trusted CA certificates to authenticate the Identity certificate of other parties in the following situations.

• PRISMAsync Print Server is setting up an IPsec connection.

• PRISMAsync Print Server is setting up a connection with the mail server.

• PRISMAsync Print Server is setting up a connection with an external audit server.

• The CA certificate has an unknown format.

• The CA certificate is not an Intermediate CA certificate or Root CA certificate.

• The CA certificate is already available in the Windows store. For example, the GlobalSign certificate that is used to set up a Remote Service connection.

• The CA certificate is already imported and available in the PRISMAsync Print Server list of trusted certificates.
