Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I view the expiration date of a certificate before deploying it?
Yes. In the Policy configuration screen, clicking the ‘+’ button under Credential Details will display the issuer and the specific expiry date.
- What happens if I don’t provide a password for a .p12 file?
The certificate will fail to install or function correctly on the device, as .p12 files are encrypted containers that require the original export password to be accessible by the OS.
- Can I apply these certificates to specific departments?
Yes. During the Associate Targets phase, you can select “User Groups” or “Domains” to target specific organizational units rather than individual devices.
