One way to check your APNIC-issued certificate is installed and see its details is to point your browser to the APNIC Certification Authority.
Load certificate page and click Next.
If the next page correctly shows your identity and certificate detail, your certificate has been correctly installed. Note that this only works with certificates issued by APNIC.
