Creating shared certificate profiles

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. Shared certificate profiles assign the same client certificate to multiple user accounts and send the certificate to users' devices. The devices present the client certificate for authentication to a network or server in your organization's environment. The client certificate has a .pfx or .p12 file extension.

Shared certificate profiles are only supported by iOS and Android devices.

To assign a client certificate to an individual user account, use a user certificate profile.
