Import a trusted certificate

Importing trusted certificates is necessary when grid clients have certificates signed by an external CA. The certificate of an external CA can be imported into an identity’s SSL truststore to ensure that the routers using that identity trust that Certificate Authority. Imported CA certificates must be DER or Base64 encoded.
