Loading a Certificate
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 CK61 and
a trusted root certificate authority (CA) certificate. Certificates are
pieces of cryptographic data that guarantee a public key is associated
with a private key. They contain a public key and the entity name that
owns the key. Each certificate is issued by a certificate authority.
There are three ways to load certificates on the CK61:
• 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
Certificates application to load the certificates.
• If you have multiple certificates to install, you can use the Import
Root Certificates and Import User Certificates functions.
To load certificates if you are using Active Directory
1 Configure the network and radio settings for the CK61 to
communicate with your certificate authority or establish an
ActiveSync connection with the CA.
2 From Intermec Settings, select Communications > 802.11 Radio
> Certificates.
3 Select Enroll Certificates and tap the Run App button. The
Enroll Certificates dialog box appears.
4 In the Enroll Certificates dialog box, enter the User Name,
Password, and Server (IP address) to log into the CA server.
5 Tap OK. A dialog box appears asking if you want to load the root
certificate.
6 Tap OK for yes. The Enrollment Tool message box appears telling
you that the user certificate has been added.
7 Tap OK to close the Enrollment Tool message box.
Note: For certificates to be valid, the CK61 must be set to the correct
date and time. After cold booting the CK61, you may need to correct
the date and time.
