Configuring an identity certificate for derived credentials

Applicable derived credential providers and device platforms

Derived credential providers	Any
Device platforms	iOS, Android

 

An identity certificate configuration is necessary for each of the purposes an app uses derived credentials. These purposes are authentication, signing, and encryption. For each app using derived credentials, the app’s AppConnect custom configuration refers to this identity certificate configuration.

Procedure 

1. In the Admin Portal, select Configurations.

2. Click +Add.

3. Click Identity Certificate.

4. Enter a name for the identity certificate configuration.

5. In the Configuration Setup section, in the Certificate Distribution field, select Derived Credential.

6. In Derived Credential Usage, select the purpose for the derived credential from the drop-down choices: Authentication, Encryption, or Signing.

7. Click Next.

   In the screen displayed, the Identity Certificate Configuration is applied to no devices, and you cannot change that option. The reason is that an AppConnect app’s custom configuration will refer to this Identity Certificate Configuration. When the app is applied to a device, this configuration is also applied to the device.

8. Select Allow this configuration to be available in all spaces if you want this setting to be available in all spaces rather than only the Default Space.

9. Click Done.

Repeat these steps for each of the derived credential purposes your device users require.
