Client certificate configuration

There are several ways in which a client certificate can be configured by an IT department. The client certificate and private key can both be incorporated into one file or split into two separate files. In addition, the file format used by these files could be PEM, DER, or PKCS12. These formats are described later in this section. The following table describes how to fill in the fields for each possible case.

Client Certificate Configuration

Certificate Configuration	Client Certificate Field	Private Key Field
Single file contains both the client certificate and	Enter the file name	Enter the same file name
the private key. Format is: PEM or DER.
First file contains the client certificate, second file	Enter the first file name	Enter the second file name
contains the private key. Format is: PEM or DER.
Single file contains both the client certificate and	Leave this field blank	Enter the file name
the private key. Format is: PKCS12
First file contains the client certificate, second file	not supported	not supported
contains the private key. Format is: PKCS12

AMX supports the following security certificates

PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail)

DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules)

PKCS12 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #12)

PKCS12 files are frequently generated by Microsoft certificate applications.

Otherwise, PEM is more common.

Certificate files frequently use 5 file extensions. It can be confusing because there is not a one to one correspondence. The following table shows the possible file extension used for each certificate type:

Certificates and their Extensions

Certificate Type	Possible File Extensions
PEM	.cer
	.pem
	.pvk
DER	.cer
	.der
PKCS12	.pfx

It is important to note which certificate types are supported by the different certificate fields used on the configuration screens (PEAP, TTLS, and TLS). The following table outlines the firmware fields and their supported certificate types.
