Certificate Installation
Before you can install the Device Manager, you must install the client identity and CA certificates in the computer.
Follow these steps to install the certificate on the computer running the Device Manager:
Step 1 Contact your IT Department for the PKCS #12 formatted certificate, which should contain the client identity and CA certificates (along with the private key and its password to import the certificates onto the laptop).
Step 2 Copy the certificate (provided by your IT Department) to your computer, for example, on the Desktop.
Step 3 Double-click the certificate to open the Installation Wizard.
Step 4 Click Next to start the installation.
Step 5 Browse to the location of the certificate file, and then click Next.
Step 6 Enter the password, unmark the `Enable strong private key protection', mark `Include all extended properties', and then click Next.
Step 7 Keep the default setting `Automatically select the certificate store based on the type of certificate,' and then click Next.
Step 8 Click Finish.
Step 9 Click OK to complete installation of the certificate.
Step 10 Open the Windows Registry using regedit and search for the following registry entry:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cisco\CGDManager\Cgdm
Step 11 Edit the CERT_COMMON_NAME to match the common name of the certificate from step 1 (above).
Note Specify the CA_COMMON_NAME field or leave it as --AutoDetect--.
Follow these steps to verify the client certificate (optional):
Step 1 (Optional) Verify the client certificate in the Internet Explorer browser:
IE browser\Tools\Internet Options\Content\Certificates\Personal
Step 2 (Optional) Verify the CA certificate in the Internet Explorer browser:
IE browser\Tools\Internet Options\Content\Certificates\Trusted Root Certification Authorities
Step 3 (Optional) Delete the C:\ProgramData\Cisco\CGDManager folder. Run the Device Manager to automatically generate this folder, and then quit the Device Manager without any actions (to clean up any previous settings).
