How do you use a .p12 certificate on Android?
I tried adding it at Menu/Settings/Location
and security.
When I do this the certificate disappears from the SD card but when I go to the website that needs the .p12-certificate I just get a connection error.
The certificate, password, and URL are all good. I triple checked them.
I am not the only one with this issue, right? My colleagues with iPad / iPhone can use it easily but on Android it's a pain in the ass. They just double click on the .p12 file, give certificate password, and they are set.
How come it's not like this on Android?
You can view the contents of a p12 key by installing OpenSSL, an open-source cryptography toolkit, and entering the command openssl pkcs12 -info -nodes -in yourfilename. p12 at your PC's command line.
Import a .p12 fileEnsure that the Menu bar is displayed: Below the address field, right-click and verify that Menu Bar is selected. Click Tools > Internet Options. On the Content tab, click Certificates. Click Import.
Make sure you copy the certificates to root of SD card.
Click on Settings->Location & Security/Security->(Install from SD card(scroll down -> Credential Storage).
Select the certificate.
