Working With Secure Certificates

If your organization’s VPN or Wi-Fi network relies on secure certificates, you must obtain the certificates and store them in your phone’s secure credential storage before you can configure access to that VPN or Wi-Fi network on your phone.

For specific instructions, contact your network administrator.

For more information about working with credential storage, see “Location & security” on page 247.

To install a secure certificate from the microSD card

1 Copy the certificate from your computer to the root (that is, not in a folder) of the microSD card. See “Connecting to a Computer via USB” on page 68 for information about connecting your phone to a computer and copying files to the microSD card.

2 From the Home screen, press the Menu Key .

3 Touch Settings > Location & security.

4 Scroll the screen up, then touch Install from SD card.

5 Touch the file name of the certificate to install.

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

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

7 Enter a name for the certificate then touch OK.

If you have not already set a password for your phone’s credential storage, you will be prompted to enter a password for it, twice, then touch OK. For more information about credential storage, see “Location & security” on page 247.

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