Installing a Certificate

Internet Explorer>Tools>Internet Options>Content Tab>Certificate Button

 

Import Button>Browse to File Location.  IE will know where to install the Cert.

Even if you open the downloaded certificate, you should see an option to install the cert.  The file should be in a .cer format.

Thanks, but I have downloaded the Certificate, I get the screen that says "here is the certificate you requested", when I follow your instructions I see the certificate in the IE contect, but when I click install I get the error message that I cannot install.

Thanks for the info, what I have is a VPN Client, which I take is the vendor that I will connect to my companies server, I install that with no problem. Then I go to my companies website, and download a certificate all goes well, the the screen is a box which is the certificate, next to it the words "cerfificate you requested" with highlighted blue word underneath, "install", when I click on install the error message "0x80090016 unable to install", once I get that I cannot go to the next steps of move certificate to Cisco store, then configure my connect through VPN client. Someone at work told me that they had to configure something in Internet Explorer to allow the install. Thank You for your time.

I did find this KB article:

need help! :(

i get this error when i try to install a certificate from the CA server.

 

Unable to install the certificate:

Error: 0x80090016.

 

can someone please share a solution with me?

Did you solve the problem?  If Yes, please let me know how.  I have the same problem when installing RSA cert.  Error: 0x80090016.

Thanks.

No Luck mate.. i tried just about everything.. ill keep you posted with my luck!

would u by any chance think that the problem with be with scheduled tasks? since this problem arises only after 90 days, im suspecting that the scheduler is failing.

 

Thank you for replying. 

I have tried averything (reinstalling W-XP from scratch etc. etc.) but without any luck.  One of the RSA Certs installs but is not working.  I managed to have the other certs installed using Firefox as browser.

 

I have tested Scheduler and that works without error messages.

 

You may try to add a new user (with adm. rights) and try to install the certs. using the new user profile.

 

 

Keep doing things differently.....

tried to grant full rights to the user profile. doesnt work... tried a different profile on the same system. doesnt work either.. but hey, thanks for the tip. ill check with a different browser.
