Add certificate information to a Wi-Fi profile
You must add the name of the certification authority profile that contains certificate information to a Wi-Fi profile. The
name of the certification authority profile is required so that the certificate enrollment process can create a certificate that
the BlackBerry device uses for Wi-Fi authentication. You can find the name of the certification authority profile in the
Certificate Authority Profile Name IT policy rule.

Managing an enrolled certificate
After a BlackBerry device enrolls a certificate, the CA Profile Manager monitors the certificate's expiry date and revocation
status. When the expiry date approaches or the certification authority revokes the certificate, the CA Profile Manager
generates a new public-private key pair, and starts the certificate enrollment process for a new certificate.
The certificate enrollment process can also start again if you change the following IT policy rules and resend the IT policy:
• Certificate Authority Profile Name
• Certificate Authority Type
• Certificate Authority Host
• Common Name Components
