RE: Digitial Certificate help needed.

Well I back at trying to import the certificate that I downloaded from
the banks website.  I have FTP'ed the cert into the IFS at
/home/certs/bank.cer   

I have tried to follow the steps that Gord listed in a past thread.  I'm
at the point now where I have created a *SYSTEM certificate store and
I'm trying to import as a Server/Client certificate.  However when I do
so I receive the following. 

 No request key is found for the certificate. If you are trying to
receive the signed certificate, you must be using the same certificate
store that was used when the certificate was requested. If this is a CA
certificate, you should use the function for importing a CA

The bank is closed today, so I'm trying to come up with a solution.  If
I double click on the cert.  I see that it says 

Issued by: Secure  Sever Certification Authority
Key Usage: Digital Signature, Key EnCipherment(a0)

Certificate policy shows a reference to verisign.  


The message seems to indicate that I need to do some sort of request,
but I'm not sure what that would be.  
I thought I had to simply import the banks cert into the *system
certificate store.  

Any ideas?  Am I missing a step somewhere.

When I had to do this a couple of years ago, I posted the steps I
followed
here so that they would get added to the archives.  Try searching there.

If you can't find anything, I'll see if I can find my notes.  It's been
a
while so the memory is quite dim.
