Accessing a secure WiFi netowork using certificates?

[Guest Chimpanzee]

Hi.

At work we have a wireless network which relies on certificates for authentication. I have put the files I've been given (one named root.der and one named wireless1.p12) on a SD card in my device (WM5) but i have no idea what to do now.

The wireless network is detected when i turn wifi on but that's as far as i've got! blush.gif

I've been using WM devices for years but I know very little about networking and security. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

It should be simply a matter of double clicking the certificate to install it?

Yes, that's how it works on a PC and how i assumed it would work on the PPC. But when i do that on the device it says there is no applications associated with the file blah, blah, blah. <_

Have your system administrator export the certificate in another format.

Mine is in a format called .PFX (i think .CER will work as well). Then copy the certificate to your device, click on it and it will install.

Another note: Ensure your device is app unlocked as it may require access to restricted APIs to install root certs.
