Importing the SSL Cert into the Mac Certificate Store

Put an intro here, but the steps for Ken (in the meantime) are:

After you export the OWA certificate and copy the certificate file to the Mac OS X computer, you can add the certificate as a trusted certificate using eithe rhte UNIX interface on the Mac or a third party utility, such as the freeware program CerttoolGUI 0.1. This utility is available at http://macupdate.com (just search for it).

Follow these steps to add the certificate using the CerttoolGUI 0.1:

1) Rename the certificate file to have a .der extension instead of .cer, and then copy the file to the root of the Macintosh HD.
2) Start the CerttoolGUI.
3) Click Add Certificate. The certificate appears in the CerttoolGUI certificate list.
4) Select the certificate, and then click Import Certificates. The certificate state appears as added.
5. Close the CertttoolGUI. Safari will no longer warn about the certificate.
