ATTENTION

If you start the MCG 3100 for the very first time without a valid license, errors occur until you upload a valid license and restart the server. You must always restart the MCG 3100 after you add or modify the license file.

Manage TLS certificates

A Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates to provide server authentication and private communication. With a PKI, the communication between the mobile clients and the MCG 3100 server is secure.

Perform the following tasks to configure the PKI:

Enroll with a Certificate Authority (CA).

Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR).

Obtain a signed TLS certificate.

Obtain the CA root certificate, intermediate certificate, or both as required by the CA..

Install the root or intermediate (or both as required by the CA) and signed certificates.

Distribute the CA root certificate.

Enroll with a Certificate Authority

Some CAs, such as VeriSign or Entrust, charge a fee for their services. Others, such as CACert or RapidSSL, provide free or low-cost solutions. As an alternative to using a commercial CA, you can build your own. For example, Microsoft Exchange Server includes tools that enable you to build a CA server that is exclusive to your organization.
