Windows Certificate Store vs. Certs Path
Note: It is important that all dates are correct on CE computers when using any type of certificate. Certificates are date
sensitive and if the date is not correct authentication will fail.
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.
Import the user certificate into the Windows certificate store by following the instructions in Installing a User Certificate on the
Mobile Device. A Root CA certificate is also needed for EAP-TLS.
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 Windows Certificate Store
1. Follow the instructions for Downloading a Root CA Certificate to a PC.
2. To import the certificate into the Windows store, follow the instructions for Installing a Root CA Certificate on the Mobile
Device.
3. When completing the Credentials screen for the desired authentication, be sure to check the Use MS store checkbox
after checking the Validate server checkbox.
4. The default is to use all certificates in the store. If this is OK, skip to Step #8.
5. Otherwise, to select a specific certificate tap the Browse (…) button.
