- In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then select Internet Options.
- Click the Content tab. Click Certificates.
- Click Import. The Certificate Import Wizard opens.
- Enter or browse to the file path and click Next. When prompted, enter the password for the private key. This was specified while generating the key pair earlier.
- Select the Automatically select the certificate store based on the type of certificate check box.
- Click Next.
- Click Finish. A dialog box appears indicating that the key pair was imported into Internet Explorer successfully.
- In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then select Internet Options.
- Click the Content tab, and then click Certificates.
- Click the Personal tab, and then select the certificate that you just imported.
- Click Export. The Certificate Export Wizard opens.
