Only certificates that you haven't already installed are displayed. 4. If prompted, enter the key store password and touch OK. 5. Enter a name for the certificate and touch OK. Typically, a CA certificate included with a client certificate is installed at the same time. You can also install separate CA certificates using the same steps. If you have not already set a pattern, PIN, or password for your device, you're prompted to set one up. The type of lock that's acceptable may be predetermined by your system administrator. You can now use the certificate that you installed when connecting to a secure network or for client authentication with Email, Browser, and third-party apps. After a certificate is installed successfully, the copy in storage is deleted. Nexus 7 Guidebook secure your tablet 77
