If instead you already have a certificate file (<code>.pfx</code> or <code>.cer</code>) to import, you can find the procedure using the Certificate Manager console further down. </div> <p>A certificate does two things: it encrypts the traffic between the visitor and the server, and it proves that the site is indeed what it claims to be. Without it, browsers will display a warning that scares everyone away.</p>
