Installing User Certificates and Private Keys 25
E-EQ-MX7RG-B MX7 Reference Guide
Installing User Certificates and Private Keys
It is important that all dates are correct on CE and desktop/laptop computers when
using any type of certificate. Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not
correct authentication will fail.
Access:
| Settings | Control Panel | Certificates
Prerequisites:
• The MX7 has the correct Date and Time. See Chapter 3, section titled “Date/Time.”
• A User Certificate file is available
• A Private Key file is available
First, using ActiveSync, copy the User Certificate file and the Private Key file to the mobile
device’s persistent file location.
A persistent file location does not get erased when the mobile device performs a warm or cold
reset. For example, the internal flash folder.
Next, place a copy of the User Certificate file and the Private Key file in the My Device\System
folder. The certificate and key files should display in the Certificates and Authentication applet
windows.
Note: After the MX7 is reflashed with a new operating system, the User Certificate and Private
Key files must be re-installed and re-authenticated.
