Create a user certificate profile and assign it to a user account
You might need to distribute client certificates to devices if the devices use certificate-based authentication to connect to a network or server in your organization’s environment. User certificate profiles assign a client certificate to an individual user account and send the certificate to the user's iOS and Android devices. The client certificate has a .pfx or .p12 file extension.
If you need to assign the same client certificate to multiple iOS and Android device users, you can use a shared certificate profile.
