Hi Roger,

The instructions in that article are for adding the MIT certificate
authority to the systems trusted CA list for that particular machine.
You still need to go through the process of getting a personal
certificate as one normally would. There is currently a problem at
the last step where the Safari will stall at the "Please standby..."
page but if Keychain application came forward, it should be
installed. We are working to correct this.
