Android also supports X.509 certificates saved in PKCS#12 key
store files with a .p12 or .pfx extension. If your key store has some
other extension, you much change it to .p12 or .pfx or you won’t
be able to install it. When you install a certificate from a PKCS#12
key store, Android also installs any accompanying private key or
certificate authority certificates.
Install client & CA certificates
To install a certificate from your tablet’s internal storage:
1. Copy the certificate or key store from your computer to the
root of your device’s internal storage (that is, not in a folder).
2. Touch Settings > Personal > Security > Credential storage
> Install from storage.
3. Touch the filename of the certificate or keystore to install. Only
certificates that you haven’t already installed are displayed.
4. if prompted, enter the key store password and touch oK.
5. Enter a name for the certificate and touch oK.
Typically, a CA certificate included with a client certificate is in-
stalled at the same time. You can also install separate CA certifi-
cates using the same steps.
if you have not already set a pattern, PiN, or password for your
device, you’re prompted to set one up. The type of lock that’s ac-
ceptable may be predetermined by your system administrator.
You can now use the certificate that you installed when connect-
ing to a secure network or for client authentication with email,
Browser, and third-party apps. After a certificate is installed suc-
cessfully, the copy in storage is deleted.
