Working with secure certificates

If your organization's VPN or Wi-Fi networks rely on secure
certificates, you must obtain the certificates (in files that conform to
the PKCS #12 standard) and store them in your phone's secure
credential storage, before you can configure access to those VPN or
Wi-Fi networks on your phone.
If your network administrator instructs you to download the
certificates from a website, you're prompted to set a password for
the credential storage when you download the certificates.
For more information about working with credential storage, see
"Location & security settings" on page 323.
To install a secure certificate from the SD card
1 Copy the certificate from your computer to the root of the SD
card (that is, not in a folder).
See "Connecting to a computer via USB" on page 75 for
information about connecting your phone to a computer and
copying files to the SD card.
2 On your phone, press Home
Touch Location & security.
3
Touch Install from SD card.
4
5 Touch the file name of the certificate to install.
Only the names of certificates that you have not already installed
on your phone are displayed.
If prompted, enter the certificate's password and touch OK.
6
Enter a name for the certificate and touch OK.
7
If you have not already set a password for your phone's credential
storage, you're prompted to enter a password for it twice and
then touch OK. For more information about credential storage, see
"Location & security settings" on page 323.
You can now use the certificate that you installed when
connecting to a secure network. For security, the certificate is
deleted from the SD card.
