Generating a Certificate Signing Request
You may need a certificate to perform a number of tasks, for example, TLS with mutual
authentication.
For version 4.12 and above, the CSR is 2048 bits, while 4.11 and below generated
512 bit keys.
To obtain a certificate you need to:
Request a certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA) by creating a certificate signing
request (CSR).
Forward the CSR to a CA to create a certificate. If your organization doesn’t have its
own CA, you will need to forward the CSR to a company like Symantec. If successful,
the CA will send back a certificate that has been digitally signed with their private key.
After you receive the certificate, you can download it to the handset:
Using a configuration file
Through the handset’s user interface
