Certificate Management

During configuration, you may have specified one or two certificates to use during the authentication process. The specified
identity should match the Issued to field in the certificate and should be registered on the authentication server (i.e., RADIUS
server) that is used by the authenticator. In addition, your certificate must be valid on the authentication server. This requirement
depends on the authentication server and generally means that the authentication server must know the issuer of your certificate
as a trusted Certificate Authority.

If the selected certificate does require a password or pass phrase to decode the private key, enter this value in the “Certificate
Pass Phrase” field. This value will be encrypted when the configuration is saved.

However, on some systems, there may not be a certificate. If that is the case, you can use the section below as a primer on OS
X certificate management.

Installing Certificates with CertAdd

Pocket PC doesn’t have a native certificate store. The CertAdd utility is supplied with the AEGIS Client to select and install
certificates on a Pocket PC device. Client or Certificate Authority certificates can be imported from *.cer (same as *.der), *.p7b,
or *.pfx files.

To install certificates on a Pocket PC device:

1. Download the certificate to the device.The location isn’t critical, although you may want to create a standard folder for

consistency.

2. Go to Start > Programs > Meetinghouse Certificates. The opening screen is displayed.

3. In the Folder drop-down list, select the folder containing the certificate(s). Any files of the valid file types in the selected folder

are listed in the lower pane of the CertAdd screen.

4. Select a certificate from the list. A pop-up will ask if you want to install the certificate.

5. Tap OK. The certificate is loaded in the correct certificate store.
