Prerequisites: Distributing a certificate using theBlackBerry Desktop Manager
• Using a public or private certificate authority, obtain or generate a digital certificate for the authentication server. The
root.der certificate file is stored in the location where the certificate was created. For example, the authentication
server stores a self-signed certificate locally.
• Configure each wireless access point as a client of the authentication server. You must use the same authentication
version on clients and servers. For more information, see the documentation for the access points.
• Use the certificate management features of Microsoft Active Directory to download the root certificate from the
certificate authority server to the computer.
