As part of Certificate based Mutual Authentication, importing and installing a Client certificate in the OpenScape Mobile keystore, allows the server to verify the OpenScape Mobile user and establish the secure connection.

Prerequisites

Client certificate was sent, as an attachment, via a secure e-mail to each device that runs OpenScape Mobile Pro application. The certificate must have an extension .osmc.
The OpenScape Mobile Pro user receives the second e-mail with the password that allows decrypting the private key in the certificate while importing the certificate.
Root CA Certificate is installed in the Android device’s storage following the procedures described in the section “How to Install a Root CA Certificate”.
INFO:
The step-by-step process of installing the Client Certificate may vary depending on your Android device.
If you are using a Samsung Galaxy device, please refer to section Section 7.2.2.
For any further information, consult the manual of your device or contact your system administrator.

Step by Step

  1. Open the e-mail from your System Administrator that contains Client certificate, as an attachment.
    INFO:
    The attached <file name>.osmc file represents the Client certificate.
  2. Tap on the e-mail attachment containing the Client CA certificate.
    A new screen pops up, showing all applications through which you are allowed to install the certificate.
  3. Tap Open in OpenScape.
    OpenScape Mobile Pro prompts you to enter the password for the Client certificate which has been sent to you in a separate e-mail, by the system administrator.
