  5. A Certificates window would pop up. Please check if your gatekeeper certificate appears under the “Personal” tab. (In case you have multiple certificates installed, you may need to expand the “Issued By” / “Expiry Date” columns to confirm the certificate details. (i.e. Your Gatekeeper certificate should show as “DigiCert Gatekeeper …” under the “Issued By” column. Please also check the “Expiry Date” column to ensure the certificate selected is the valid certificate)
