Certificates

During configuration, you may have specified one or two certificates to use during the authentication process.
Certificate Requirements
The specified identity should match the Issued to field in the certificate and should be registered on the authentication server
(i.e., a RADIUS server) that is used by the authenticator. In addition, your certificate must be valid on the authentication server.
This requirement depends on the authentication server and generally means that the authentication server must know the issuer
of your certificate as a trusted Certificate Authority (CA).
If the selected certificate does require a password or pass phrase to decode the private key, enter this value in the Certificate
Pass Phrase field. This value will be encrypted when the configuration is saved. However, on some systems, there may not be
a certificate.
Note: Client or CA certificates can be imported from *.cer (same as *.der), *.p7b, or *.pfx files.
Installing Certificates with the Meetinghouse Certificate Installer
1. Download the certificate file to the device.
The location isn't critical, but you may want to create a standard folder for consistency.
2. Go to Start > Programs > Meetinghouse Certificate Installer.
3. Navigate to the certificate location.
4. Tap and hold on a certificate in the list. A pop-up appears asking if you want to install the certificate.
5. Tap OK. The certificate is loaded into the correct certificate store.
Installing a Root Certificate
1. Save the certificate to the device. If no error appears when you save the certificate, it was most likely saved to the device.
Note: To make sure that the certificate persists through cold boots, install the certificate to the \IPSM folder.
2. To verify that the certificate is recognized by the operating system, tap Start > Settings > Control Panel > Certificates
. This opens the Certificates window, which displays all the certificates on the device.
3. Scroll through this list until you see the certificate you installed.
4. After you have identified your certificate in the list, tap OK to close.
5. To use the certificate in a network profile, double-tap the Client icon in the command bar .
