Certificate manager

Go to Desk > Control panel > Certificate manager.

With the Certificate manager application you can manage digital certificates which you use when connecting to web sites, mail servers, and when installing software. Digital certificates may be used for:

connecting to an online bank or another site or remote server for actions that involve transferring confidential information

reducing the risk of viruses or other malicious software and checking the authenticity of software when downloading and installing it

Important: Note that even if the use of certificates makes the risks involved in remote connections and software installation considerably smaller, they must be used correctly in order to benefit from increased security. The existence of a certificate does not offer any protection by itself, the certificate manager must contain correct, authentic, or trusted certificates for increased security to be available. Certificates have a restricted lifetime. If “Expired certificate” or “Certificate not valid yet” is shown even if the certificate should be valid, check that the current date and time in your smartphone are correct.

Before changing any certificate settings, you must make sure that you really trust the owner of the certificate and that the certificate really belongs to the listed owner.
