How to install the netwiz Root CA certificate

As detailed in the Digital Signature Certificate Policy netwiz is experimenting with digital signatures.

See the Digital Signature Certificate Policy page for the download location of this Root CA certificate.

Click the Install Certificate button and follow the wizards default settings.
