  • Macintosh 10.5: No known problems.
  • Macintosh 10.4: No known problems.
  • Macintosh 10.3: When you import the certificate, a popup window will ask for a password. If you do not use a password, however, the popup still appears when you subsequently login. Click OK every time, for in this case you effectively have a blank password.
