Install SSL Certificate Profile on the iPad

  1. Transfer the same SSL certificate installed on the VALT server to the iPad.
    • This could be done via email, OneDrive share link, Box share link, etc.
    • See more under Tools, below.
  2. Install the certificate profile onto the iPad by following one of these two methods:
    1. Open the file from Mail, Files, Safari, or AirDrop. The iPad will prompt: "Profile Downloaded - Review the profile in Settings if you want to install it."
    2. Open Settings > General > VPN & Device Management >
    3. Select the VALT server certificate in the list under the heading "Downloaded Profile" and click Install at the top-right
    4. You may be prompted to enter the device password, then click Install once again
  3. Enable full root trust for the certificate, per Apple's documentation.
    1. Go to Settings > General > About > Certificate Trust Settings
    2. Under "Enable full trust for root certificates", flip the switch on for your installed certificate.
  4. Verify that the certificate is correctly installed by navigating to your VALT web page and checking for any certificate errors.

Common Issues

I installed the SSL Certificate, but BEAM still isn't connecting to VALT
If the SSL Certificate installed on the VALT Server has multiple certificate chains, ensure each certificate chain is individually installed on the iPad.
I installed an SSL Certificate on the iPad, but I don't see it in the list of certificates to enable full root trust for
Only root certificates will appear in this list. All certificate chains need to be installed, but only the root certificate needs to have the full root trust enabled.
