Certificate Required

[Omar1983]

Hi,

I'm facing a problem, connecting my phone (Sony Ericson X10) over Android 2.1, to the company wirless network.
The connection requires a certificate to be installed on the phone of type ".Cer", while adroid can't recognize such type .
I tried to rename the certificate, but it doesnt work...
Anyone knows the way to connect or if there is any application might do this?
Plzzz help...

Thanks in advance folks

Welcome to the Android Forums!

The Android OS does not recognize .cer certificate files. In order to install it on the phone you'd need to convert the file into a format that it understands, namely .pfx. This potentially is problematic because to convert the file you'll need to re-enter the certificates private key to complete the process. Have you discussed this with your companies I.T. department? They might be able to generate the .pfx file for you.

Here's a possible list of steps to convert a .cer file to .pfx using Windows...
