As a relying party, you should install the DutchGrid CA root certificates
in your local trusted certificate store. The way to do this depends
on your application software.
The DutchGrid Medium-security CA is an IGTF-accredited Classic
Authority, and is installed automatically as part of the IGTF
Accredited
Installation bundle.

Certificate, and review its contents or import into your OpenSSL
