Hi All,

Our wireless network requires EAP-TLS certificate installation.

We use a MS 2003 server as a CA server.

I tried to brows to the issuing website (http://CAserver/certsrv) but when I get to the section where I need to choose the strength of the key, somehow the phone's browser is not showing the options...

So, I tried to issue a certificate from the issuing station and got a file called certnew.cer .

From what I read this is the right certificate type, so I copied the file to the phone and tried to open it...

But it only open it with the Notes application...

Any help????

10x in advanced,

Can someone please explain about cetificates on symbian?

Hi elnaor,

     You can use computer to download CA certificate from your local CA, then copy it (.cer file) to your phone and use File Manager to save this certificate to certificate manager on your phone.

Hi publicuser, and thanks for the reply!

as wrote... I tried to copy it to the phone but the phone only opens it with Notepad...

Somehow it doesn't recognize it as a .cer file. And IT IS a .cer file... I got the file from my CA server like that...

Any suggestions?

The certificate needs to be in .der format. You probably have it in .cer (PEM) format right now.

You can convert it using openssl. Change the filenames appropriately:

openssl x509 -outform der -in MYCERT.pem -out MYCERT.der 

Then send the .der file to the phone and open it. The phone should offer to install it as a certificate.

I can import certificates in .pfx format, but the conecction it doesn't works. Can anyone tell me how do you configure the EAP-TLS Settings in the phone?

Thanks

I don't have my phone near me, so this is going to be a little tricky. Use as a general guideline.

Create an access point in the Connection settings. For WLAN security, choose 802.11. EAP-TLS etc should 

show up in plugins etc under this option. You'll need to switch tabs by pressing right and left arrow to get to 

the EAP-TLS specific settings. Remember to enable EAP-TLS with the left option key after you configure it.

 By default only two plugins are available.

Hi all... again!

I managed to import the certificate to the phone.

But it puts the certificate in the "Trusted Site Certificates"... I need to put it in the "Personal Certificates" so I can use it for the WLAN EAP-TLS configuration...

Any suggestions?
