Windows Certificate Store vs. Certs Path
User Certificates
EAP-TLS authentication requires a user certificate. The user certificate must be stored in the
Windows certificate store.
• To generate the user certificate, follow the instructions in “Generating a User
Certificate for the Mobile Device”, later in this chapter.
• Import the user certificate into the Windows certificate store by following the
instructions in “Installing a User Certificate on the Mobile Device”, later in this
chapter.
• A Root CA certificate is also needed for EAP-TLS. Refer to the section below.
Root CA Certificates
Root CA certificates are required for PEAP/MSCHAP, PEAP/GTC, and EAP-TLS. Two options
are offered for storing these certificates. They may be imported into the Windows certificate store
or copied into the Certs Path directory.
How To: Use the Certs Path
1. Follow the instructions later in this chapter for “Downloading a Root CA Certificate to a PC”.
2. Copy the certificate to specified directory on the mobile device. The default location for
Certs Path is \System. A different location may be specified by using the Certs Path global
variable. Please note the location chosen for certificate storage should persist after warmboot.
3. When completing the Credentials screen for the desired authentication, do not check the Use
MS store checkbox after checking the Validate server checkbox.
4. Enter the certificate name in the CA Cert textbox.
5. Click OK to exit the Credentials screen and then Commit to save the profile changes.
