Access to NROTC and other Encrypted Navy Websites

Many Department of Defense, US Navy, and other Federal Government websites use SSL to encrypt network traffic between web servers and browsers. This is similar to banks, brokerage houses, and e-commerce websites.

 

If you are having problems accessing our NROTC website (https://www.netc.navy.mil/NSTC/NROTC) or other similarly encrypted sites, the problem is most likely certificate errors such that the browser indicates that the website is untrustworthy and will not connect. To remedy that, the DoD Root Certificates need to be installed into your internet browser.

 

Installing the DoD Root Certificates will allow your web browser to trust the identity of websites whose secure communications are authenticated by Department of Defense agencies. The DoD Root CA 2 certificate is included with the newer version of InstallRoot_5.5x32_NonAdmin.msi. 

How to Install the NEW DoD Root certificate:

Open an internet browser and go to ... https://militarycac.com/dodcerts.htm
  1. Find the InstallRoot link for the .zip version, [MilitaryCAC (.zip version) (25.9 MB)] to download.
  2. Click "Download".
  3. Follow the instructions provided on the same screen just below the links.
  4. Use the "InstallRoot Setup Wizard" to guide you through the installation.
  5. After installation is complete, restart the browser before attempting to access NETFOCUS.
