Add a CA to the embedded Java CA cert keystore
Web Help Desk does not accept certificates signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) that is not trusted by its Java Virtual Machine (JVM). To import the certificate into the trust store, export the certificate to the CRT file and import the CA. Run Porteclé as an administrator to import the CA.
