OverviewThis document will assist in importing the root certificate for the SpammerTrap into an Active Directory Group Policy Object (GPO). This will fix the issue with Internet Explorer displaying alerts that the site you are visiting has a certifcate that is not in your trusted list. Note that in IE7 the warning changed from an innocuous popup to a full screen warning, recommending that the user not proceed to the site, this is normal and nothing to be worried about, but if you wish to not see the warning by you or your users, you can import the server’s certificate into your organizations trusted root certificates list. It is expected that the domain administrator or network administrator will use this how-to.
