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 365.
