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 316.

To install a secure certificate from the microSD card

1Copy the certificate from your computer to the root of the microSD card (that is, not in a folder).

See “Connecting to a computer via USB” on page 74 for information about connecting your phone to a computer and copying files to the microSD card.

2Press Home , press Menu , and touch Settings, to open the Settings application.

3Touch Location & security.

4 Touch Install from SD card.

5Touch the file name of the certificate to install.

Only the names of certificates that you have not already installed on your phone are displayed.

6If prompted, enter the certificate’s password and touch OK.

7Enter a name for the certificate and touch OK.

If you have not already set a password for your phone’s credential storage, you’re prompted to enter a password for it twice and then touch OK. For more information about credential storage, see “Location & security settings” on page 316.

You can now use the certificate that you installed when connecting to a secure network. For security, the certificate is deleted from the microSD card.
