The platform WiFi Certificate Manager view (and equivalent secondary view of a station’s “WiFiPlatformService”) lets you import “CA certificate” and client “private key” files onto the JACE for use in WiFi security types WPA or WPA2. Usage of these security types with such digital certificates are uncommon, except in an “enterprise level” network scenario.
A requirement is that files for all certificates and keys must be in the PEM format.
Figure 13 above shows the WiFi Certificate Manager. This view is split into two areas, as follows:
-
CA Certificates
Provides buttons to
, and CA certificate files. Any imported certificate is listed in the table, with data columns as shown.
-
Client Keys
Provides buttons to
and private key files. Any imported key is listed in the table, with data columns as shown.
When you click , the appropriate “file chooser” type dialog opens, so you can navigate to the CA certificate or private key file to select. Figure 14 and Figure 15 show the two respective dialogs.
Use the standard file chooser controls to navigate and select the appropriate CA certificate and private key files for import. Note all digital certificates must be in PEM format, verified by the import dialogs.
After importing the CA certificate(s) and client keys, they will be available for selection in the edit dialog for the WiFi wireless network configured for WPA or WPA2 Security type (fields shown in Figure 16).
