Chapter 11: Client certificate management
This chapter describes the procedures that you use to manage client certificates on the devices.
Typically, you E-mail the root certificate to your users, and they must install the certificates on their devices.
Root certificates have two formats—DER and PEM. Distribute the DER-formatted certificates to Windows
Mobile Version 5, Nokia and BlackBerry users. Distribute the PEM-formatted certificates to Windows
Mobile Version 6 users.
