Working with Certificates in the Unified Communication Wizard

Installing a Certificate

When configuring certificates for the Cisco Mobility Advantage Proxy, the Cisco Presence Federation
Proxy, and Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Proxy, you must install the certificates from the Cisco
Mobility Advantage server, Cisco Presence Federation server, and Cisco Unified Communications
Manager servers, respectively, on the adaptive security appliance. See the documentation for each of
these products for information about obtaining the identity certificates from each.
Additionally, when configuring the Cisco Mobility Advantage Proxy, you use the Install Certificate
dialog box to install the root certificate received from the certificate authority. The root certificate from
the certificate authority is used to sign other certificates. The root certificate is used by the adaptive
security appliance to authenticate your signed identity certificate received from the certificate authority.
