These instructions will probably continue to apply to any later updates as well, though versions newer than those listed above have not been explicitly tested by me. They will likely work the same with earlier versions of OS 10.11 and its components, but i never tested those earlier versions. The following instructions have been formulated running OS 10.11.6, its Mail 9.3, Safari 9.1.2, Keychain Access 9.0, Certificate Assistant 5.0, and all current updates to these items as of 27 July 2016.
