Has anybody figured out how to install a new (x509 CA) certificate on the N900?  I need it so I can browse our corporate SSL sites and email.  The Certificate Manager does not appear to have an 'add certificate' option....

I'm having the same issue... the iPhone has a prompting to accept them.  Perhaps they can add that to this phone.

You need to transfer the .cer base 64 encoded to your n900 then open the .cer from file manager and it will have option to install. My problem is the certificate i have is not trusted so i do not get an install option. Does anyone have a workaround?

I use SSL when connecting to my mail server.. it's a self signed certificate.. and to be fair I did nothing special to add the certificate.. it just seems to have added it.. What is poor is that I don't remember if it asked me to accept the certificate permanently!

What problems are you getting when you're using email and when you're using the browser? Can you let us know what dialog boxes/prompts appear and when?

[cpitchford]

If I open a HTTPS website that uses a non-public or self-signed certificate in the browser I'm prompted to add an exception..

If I select add exception, get certificate, add exception permanently (checkbox on) then the SSL certificate is accepted for that website indefinitely.. The now trusted certificate does not, however, appear in the certificate manager..

Works for me and it just installs.  Thanks!

how do I determine if my .cer is base 64? Is there a way to convert my cert to base 64 if is not?

Its appears I have the certificate on the phone... I found one that matches what I have on my work computer, through the certificate manager.  Its still saying "authentication failed" when I try to connect to through the wireless but I have the green checkmark next to the wireless connection.  Is there something else missing?

Hi,

Can you please provide some details on exactly how to transfer the .cer base 64 encoded to the n900?

I have no idea where to get it

thanks

i have a bluesocket secured connection in my university and the first time i opened my browser i was asked to accept the certificate this is usual i also get this on the desktop browser. so i added the certificate as an exception and was directed to the bluesocket page where i was able to enter my username and password and hence then when ever i open my browser and try to open a link my n900 restarts. it has happened when i tried to install applications as well. what do u think the problem is....is it a certificate issue or a browser issue or a phone issue can anyone help me please.

thanks

With a p7b certificate I was asked if I wanted to install for server, wlan, email. I installed for all 3. Though it didn't solve my MfE '03 problem. With a base 65 cer certificate I don't get an option to install.

I also installed a certificate and indicated the purpose for all available options including wlan.  However when I want to use it in my wlan configuration, the dropdown list for certificates is empty!

How do I fix that?
