Note

•If you configure your machine using EAP-TLS Authentication, you must install the Client Certificate issued by a CA before you start configuration. Contact your network administrator about the Client Certificate. If you have installed more than one certificate, we recommend you write down the certificate you want to use. For details on installing the certificate, see Using Certificates for device security uu page 66.

•Before you verify the Server Certificate, you must import the CA certificate that has been issued by the CA that signed the Server Certificate. Contact your network administrator or your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to confirm whether a CA certificate import is necessary. For details on importing the certificate, see Import and export a CA certificate uu page 77.

•For the details of each certificate, see Using Certificates for device security uu page 66.
