Client certificate configuration
A client certificate can be configured by an IT department in several ways. The client certificate and
private key can both be incorporated into one file or split into two separate files. In addition, the file
format used by these files could be PEM, DER, or PKCS12. These formats are described later in this
section. The following table describes how to fill in the fields for each possible case.
AMX supports the following security certificates
PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail)
DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules)
PKCS12 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #12)
Certificate files frequently use 5 file extensions. It can be confusing because there is not a one to one
correspondence. The following table shows the possible file extension used for each certificate type:
Please note which certificate types are supported by the different certificate fields used on the
configuration screens (PEAP, TTLS, and TLS). The following table outlines the firmware fields and their
supported certificate types.
