Certificate Requirements

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.

About CertAdd

CertAdd is a stand-alone utility included with the Client that allows certificates to be selected and installed on a Windows Mobile
device.

Installing Certificates with CertAdd

Client or Certificate Authority (CA) certificates can be imported from *.cer (same as *.der), *.p7b, or *.pfx files.

1. Download the certificate file to the My Documents folder. The location isn’t critical, although you may want to create a

standard folder for consistency.
