hi during installation ive got a screenshot come up thats not in the step by step tutorial provided in the documentation, it says:
(To use S/MIME certificates for sign and encrypt, you have to define
the trustability of X.509 root certificates.)
A root certificate (root CA) is used to check the validity of all
child certificates. If you trust the root certificate therby you
trust also all underlying certificates.
To avoid that each user must search and install the required root
certificates, and also check and authenticate the trustworthiness of
the same, it is useful to install a system-wide default of the most
important root certificates:
-
Store the root certificates
Copy root certificate file to:
[Windows XP]:
C:\Documents and settings\All Users\Application data\GNU\etc
dirmngr\trusted-certs
[Windows Vista/7]:
C:\ProgramData\GNU\etc\dirmngr\trusted-certsThe corresponding root certificates must be available as files in DER
format in the above file folder, with the file extension .crt or .der.
I completely have no clue as to what any of that is, means, or what to do, i dont want to just skip configuration as i want my installation to be safe and secure.
