Mobile Connect for iOS 5.0

Using Mobile Connect Client Certificate Importer

Importing a client certificate using Mobile Connect Client Certificate Importer

  1. From your iOS device, open the administrator email message that contains an attached client certificate and private key in a p12 file format, for example: cert.p12.
  2. If using the standard Apple Mail app, press and hold the attachment. In Outlook, and in other apps, press the Share button with the up arrow.
  3. Tap the three dots (...) labeled More in the middle row to get to the Activities list.

  4. Enable the Import to Mobile Connect toggle next to the app icon and tap Done.

  5. Tap the Import to Mobile Connect icon in the app Activities menu.
  6. Enter the p12 file password (if prompted) and tap Import to get the certificate.

  7. A checkmark verifies that the certificate is successfully imported.

After completing this process, the certificate is available in Mobile Connect whenever a server requires the user to provide it.

A .p12 file follows the PKCS #12 standard for storing cryptography objects as a single file. Each .p12 file bundles a private key with a corresponding X.509 certificate.
