CA root certificate distribution
You must ensure the CA root certificate is installed (in DER format) on all
mobile client devices that register with the MCG 3100 Server. Depending on
which CA you choose, the root certificates are preinstalled or you distribute
the root certificates to the clients for manual installation.
Various methods of root certificate distribution are available. Typically, the
administrator e-mails the root certificate to the mobile client users who need
it. The users must install the certificate on their devices.
After the user installs the root certificate, the TLS security is implemented
and the communication between the mobile clients and the MCG 3100
Server is secure.
If a user attempts to log on and the root certificate is not installed, a prompt
appears asking for permission to allow access to the MCG 3100 Server. If
permission is granted and the connection fails or times out, the user must install
the root certificate on the mobile client device.
