WLAN Security Protocol Utilities
Your HP iPAQ Pocket PC supports the IEEE 802.1X standard for
wireless encryption for customers whose network supports this
feature. Contact your company’s IT Administrator to set up the
following features.
802.1X Certificate Enroller
This utility allows you to request a user certificate from a
certificate server. Once the certificate has been received and
stored on your iPAQ Pocket PC, you can access the network
using one of the 802.1X protocols. Refer to
“Manually Entering
New Network Settings”
earlier in this chapter for information on
selecting one of these protocols.
To retrieve a certificate:
1. Be sure your Pocket PC has an ActiveSync connection to a
computer on the same network as the certificate server.
2. Tap
Start > Settings > System
tab
> Enroller.
3. Complete the on-screen certificate request form by entering
your name, password, and the server to retrieve the certificate
from.
4. Tap the
Retrieve Certificate
button to download the
certificate from the server. The status box at the bottom of
the screen will indicate whether the attempt to retrieve the
certificate was successful.
Note:
The enrollment tool is specifically designed to interact with
Microsoft Certificate Servers. Alternate Certificate Authority
servers will require a custom enrollment application which can
be developed using the Embedded Visual C 4.0 tool and the
Software Development Kit for Windows Mobile 2003-based
Pocket PCs.
