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 365.

You can now use the certificate that you installed when connecting to a secure network. For security, the certificate is deleted from the USB storage or SD card.
