How to use .p12 certificate on Android?

I tried to add it to the menu / Settings / Location and Security.

When I do this, the certificate disappears from the SD card, but when I go to a site that needs a .p12 certificate, I just get an error message.

The certificate, password, and URL are all good. I checked them out.

I'm not the only one with this problem, right? My colleagues with ipad / iphone can use it easily, but on Android it is a pain in * ss. They simply double-click on the .p12 file, give the certificate password and are installed.

Why is this not so on Android?

Answer 1

Make sure you copy the certificates to the root of the SD card.

Click Settings → Location and Security / Security → (install from the SD card (scroll down → Credential storage).

Select a certificate.
