  2. In the left navigation pane, click Settings > Security management, and then click Smart card authentication.
  3. To the right of CA certificates click Add.
  4. Click Browse to select the certificate or drag and drop the CA certificate and click Add.

    The web server is restarted after adding the certificate.

    The selected certificate is displayed under CA certificates.
