After having requested a user certificate, you'll receive a delivery email. Download your certificate from its status page (to do so, click on the link provided in the delivery mail). NOTICE: you have to use the same machine, same user, same browser and same session you did to request your certificate. You'll see a button: "Download the certificate".Click on it to launch the importation of your certificate in your browser. Internet Explorer will ask for a confirmation.
Once your certificate installed you can check its presence in: Tools / Internet Options... / Content / Certificates.
You should see your certificate in the Personal tab. If you select the certifcate and click on the button View, you'll see your certificate's details and this text: "Certificates in the Personal category have an associated private key" that confirms the presence of the associated private key.
You can now use this certificate:
- with Internet Explorer (authentication on websites)
- with Outlook 2003+ (after configuration and if the certificate hols an 'email' field), see Signature / Cypherment with Outlook 2003+
- with Outlook 2000 (if the certificate holds an 'email' field): export the certificate and import it, see Export a user certificate from Internet Explorer
