Uploading Certificates
A certificate is a digital file that certifies the identity of the organization or products of the organization. It is also used
to establish your credentials for any Web transactions. It contains the organization name, a serial number, expiration
date, a copy of the certificate-holder's public key, and the digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority so that a
recipient can ensure that the certificate is real.
Instant supports the following certificate files:
l Auth server or captive portal server certificate: PEM format with passphrase (PSK)
l CA certificate: PEM or DER format
In the current release, IAP supports uploading of a customized certificate for internal captive portal server.
