User Certificates
It is important that all dates are correct on CE and desktop/laptop computers when
using any type of certificate. Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not
correct authentication will fail.
Generating a User Certificate for the Mobile Device
Please refer to the “LXE Security Primer” for more information on obtaining and
installing user certificates.
The easiest way to get the user certificate is to use a browser on a PC to navigate to the CA. To
request the user certificate, open a browser to
http://<CA IP address>/certsrv
Sign into the CA with the username and password of the person who will be logging into the
mobile device.

Important: This process saves a user certificate and a separate private key file. CE devices such
as the MX7 require the private key to be saved as a separate file rather than including the private
key in the user certificate.
