Workflow
Fill in all required fields

Click action button
==> new window shows up:
Window displays contents of CA certs store
At bottom, enter new alias's entry, then click OK button
==> that's all!
Things to know
Default root CA certs keystore's password: "changeit"
JavaSoft's equivalent keytool command:
(using JDK 1.6.0, with default cacerts 'password, under Linux)
keytool
-importcert
-alias myNewAlias
-file [path2RootCACertificateFile]
-trustcacerts
-keystore [path2JavaRuntimeEnvironment]/lib/security/cacerts
-storepass changeit
Limitations
Rule #1: Input certificate file should only contain one certificate.
Rule #2: Input certificate should be self-signed, meaning certificate issuer same as certificate owner.
