Installing the Avaya root certificate

If you access the MSS using a browser, the system requires your browser to have a security certificate to establish an encrypted, secure session with the MSS. You can accept the security certificate each time you start a browser session, or you can install the certificate for the current session and all future sessions on a computer. The certificate is required for each computer from which you access the system:

• If you are planning to use this computer to access your system on an ongoing basis, it is recommended that you install the root certificate.
• If you are accessing your system from a computer on a one-time basis, it is not recommended that you install the root certificate.

To install the Avaya Root Certificate:

1. From the MSS Messaging Administration menu, in the Security category, select Avaya Root Certificate.
2. On the File Download - Security Warning page, click Open.
3. On the General tab of the Certificate dialog box, click Install Certificate.
4. On the Certificate Import Wizard, click Next.
5. Leave the default value, Automatically select the certificate store based on the type of certificate, selected and click Next.
6. Click Finish.

The system displays a confirmation message.

7. On the confirmation dialog box, click OK.
8. On the Certificate dialog box, click OK.
