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.
