Installing User Certificates and Private Keys
Access:
Prerequisites:
• The MX8 has the correct Date and Time. See Chapter 3, section titled "Date/Time."
• A User Certificate file is available
• A Private Key file is available
First, using ActiveSync, copy the User Certificate file and the Private Key file to the mobile
device's persistent file location.
A persistent file location does not get erased when the mobile device performs a warm or cold
boot. For example, the internal flash folder select My Device | Storage.
Next, place a copy of the User Certificate file and the Private Key file in the My Device\System
folder. The certificate and key files should display in the Certificates and Authentication applet
windows.

using any type of certificate. Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not
correct authentication will fail.
