  2. Double-click Applications > Utilities Keychain Access.app to open Keychain Access.
  3. Select File > Import Items.
  4. Navigate to the desktop and then select your root CA certificate.
  5. In the Destination Keychain drop-down menu, select System, and then click Open.
  6. If prompted, enter your Keychain Access password and then click Modify Keychain.
  7. At the next screen, click Always Trust when asked whether you want your computer to trust certificates signed by this certificate.
