How to Install Certificates

Manage Certificates

Congratulations! You are the owner of a Flak. We assume that you have already did go through the installation of Flak on PC/Laptop. If not, please look here.

You need to have site's certificate installed in order to use LogMe. Note: LogMe is available only for users of Flak Classic Business edition. All our faithful users did get to upgrade their Flak devices to the cool Business edition of Flak for free!! All you would need to do is to run the Flak update to see if this applies to you.

Note: full functionality of Flak, including LogMe function, is not available for Mac OS devices yet.

1. We assume, that

a) you have already registered on the cloud services providers site that supports OpenID digital identity.

b) you have received a user's digital certificate and it's located either in the folder on the disk or is installed in the browser

c) you have a password to export your certificate

d) registered your Flak

For example, when you sign up with StartSSL, you receive a digital certificate, which is installed in your computer.

Create a backup by copying the certificates from the folder on the disk you used either to the encrypted disk (use TrueCrypt for example), or burn them to the CD or copy to the USB disk, and then delete the certificates from the browser and the computer.

You are done! How to use LogMe with sites is described here.

Note: if you are not using LogMe very often or for better security we suggest switching the button on Easy Login on Flak Web back to red.

 

NOTE: Flak Secuter is designed so that you can only add and delete the certificates to Flak, it is not possible to extract/copy the certificates from Flak's secure memory to the disk. That's why we advise to keep a backup copy of the certificates in the secured location.
