Installing the certificate will add it to the relevant operating system store (Keychain for Mac, Certificate Management for Windows)

In case you're running third party tools which requires and manages its own certificate system, you'll need to import it there as well.

Few examples with references:

  • Java SE - You will be required to push the certificate to the Java cert store as well:

Installing Root CA Certificate to Firefox

Firefox doesn't use the built-in certificate store like everybody else. They have their own.

  1. From the browser options menu, click Settings.

  2. Search for Certificates and click View Certificates.

  3. In the Authorities tab, click Import.

  4. Browse to where you stored the Cato root certificate and select it and click Open.

    This should resolve any certificate issues with TLS inspection in Firefox.
