You cannot import invalid Internet certificates or incomplete certificate chains.

    1. Export the Internet certificate from the browser it is stored in, and save it to a directory that you can pick it up from later. If you have the ability to choose the export format, you should choose PKCS #12 format, which includes your Internet private key and any supporting Internet certificates in the certificate chain if available. You will not succeed at importing certificates into your User ID if the export does not include your Internet private key.

    2. Choose File - Security - User Security.
