The Issuing Authority's Root Certificate will very likely have been installed into
Opera along with your own certificate. This root certificate is required by
Opera in order to trust certificates issued by the Issuing Authority (including your
own). If you cannot find the Issuing Authority's root certificate in your
"Signers" store, it may not have been supplied with your user certificate.
In that case, you need to go to the Issuing Authority's web site and download the
certificate from there.
At the Issuing Authority's web site, there should be a clearly labelled link that
enables you to download the root certificate.
