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 323.
To install a secure certificate from the SD card
1 Copy the certificate from your computer to the root of the SD
card (that is, not in a folder).
See “Connecting to a computer via USB” on page 75 for
information about connecting your phone to a computer and
copying files to the SD card.
2 On your phone, press Home , press Menu, and touch Settings.
3 Touch Location & security.
4 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 and touch OK.
7 Enter 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 323.
You can now use the certificate that you installed when
connecting to a secure network. For security, the certificate is
deleted from the SD card.
