Loading Certificates
If you choose to use transport layer security (TLS) with WPA or 802.1x
security, you need to have a unique client certificate on the CN30 and a
trusted root certificate authority (CA) certificate. You can use a third-party
CA to issue unique client certificates and a root certificate. If you are using
Active Directory® to issue certificates, you can use the Enroll Certificates
application to load the certificates. If you are using another third-party CA,
you can use the Import Root or User Certificates programs to load the cer-
tificates.
Note: Do not cold boot the CN30. Cold booting the computer
resets the time and date.
To load certificates on the CN30 if you are using Active Directory

cate with your certificate authority.

Password, and Server (IP address) to log into the CA server.
5 Press Enter. A dialog box appears asking if you want to load the root
certificate.
6 Press Enter for yes. The Enrollment Tool message box appears telling
you that the user certificate has been added.
7 Press Enter to close the Enrollment Tool message box.
8 Configure your CN30 for WPA or 802.1x security.
To load certificates on the CN30 if you are using another third-party CA
Note: You need to create the \temp\root and \temp\user folders on your
CN30 before you can copy the certificate files to your Mobile computer.
