Hi Carmadi,

To install a PFX certificate automatically from MobiControl on Windows Classic, you can follow these general steps:
  1. Access MobiControl: Log into your MobiControl console.
  2. Create a Device Group: Ensure that the target devices are in a specific device group.
  3. Upload the PFX Certificate:
    • Navigate to the Certificates section in the MobiControl console.
    • The Certificate section can typically be found under the "System" settings within the MobiControl console. Here’s how to access it:
      1. Login to MobiControl: Access your MobiControl console.
      2. Navigate to Global Settings: Find and click on "Global Settings" in the main menu.
      3. Select Services: From the options listed, look for "Services".
      4. Locate Certificate Authority: Within the "Services" section, you should see the "Certificate Authority" or similar options where you can manage certificates.
    • Import the required PFX certificate.
  4. Create a Profile:
    • Go to the Profiles section.
    • Click on "Add Profile" and select "Windows".
    • Within the profile, choose "Configurations" and select "Certificates".
  5. Configure the Certificate Settings:
    • Under the “Certificates” settings, specify the PFX certificate you uploaded.
    • Configure any additional settings such as password or installation commands as needed.
  6. Assign the Profile to the Device Group:
    • After saving the profile, assign it to the device group that contains the Windows Classic devices.
  7. Deploy the Profile:
    • Ensure the devices check in with MobiControl, which triggers the profile deployment including the certificate installation.
  8. Monitoring:
    • Monitor the status of the installation via the MobiControl console to ensure the certificate has been successfully installed.
Make sure the devices are configured correctly to accept the certificate and that all necessary policies are applied to allow installation.For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the MobiControl documentation specifically dealing with certificate management: Client PFX Certificates.
