Loading a Certificate

CK61 Handheld Computer User's Manual With Windows CE
If you choose to use transport layer security (TLS) with WPA or 802.1x
security, you need to have a unique client certificate on the CK61 and
a trusted root certificate authority (CA) certificate. Certificates are
pieces of cryptographic data that guarantee a public key is associated
with a private key. They contain a public key and the entity name that
owns the key. Each certificate is issued by a certificate authority.
There are three ways to load certificates on the CK61:
• If you are using Active Directory to issue certificates, you can use
the Enroll Certificates application to load the certificates.
• If you are using another third-party CA, you can use the Import
Certificates application to load the certificates.
• If you have multiple certificates to install, you can use the Import
Root Certificates and Import User Certificates functions.
Note: For certificates to be valid, the CK61 must be set to the correct
date and time. After cold booting the CK61, you may need to correct
the date and time.
To load certificates if you are using Active Directory
1 Configure the network and radio settings for the CK61 to
communicate with your certificate authority or establish an
ActiveSync connection with the CA.
2 From Intermec Settings, select Communications > 802.11 Radio
> Certificates.
3 Select Enroll Certificates and tap the Run App button. The
Enroll Certificates dialog box appears.
4 In the Enroll Certificates dialog box, enter the User Name,
Password, and Server (IP address) to log into the CA server.
5 Tap OK. A dialog box appears asking if you want to load the root
certificate.
6 Tap OK for yes. The Enrollment Tool message box appears telling
you that the user certificate has been added.
7 Tap OK to close the Enrollment Tool message box.
