Allow Installation of Third-Party Programs

1.
With two fingers, swipe down from the status bar, and then touch > Security.

the Web.
Work with Certificates
Use client and Certificate Authority (CA) digital certificates to enable your phone to access VPN or
secured Wi-Fi networks, and also to provide authentication to online servers. You can get a
certificate from your system administrator or download it from sites that require authentication.
Note: Some apps such as your browser or email client let you install certificates directly in the app.
See the app’s help for details.
Install a Digital Certificate
Note: You must set a lock screen PIN or password before installing a digital certificate.
