How to test certificates

This article describes how to test certificate installation on an MDM server.

On an MDM server, the SSL wildcard (or other end-entity) certificate must be installed. It is used during the enrollment process to ensure SSL encryption between the MDM server and the devices. For it to be trusted, the Root and Intermediate certificates from the CA must be installed as well.

Testing the certificate

Section titled “Testing the certificate”

Test the SSL certificate with an online checker such as SSL Labs (SSL Server Test), and verify:

  • Certificate chain — the server presents the full chain (end-entity, intermediate, and root certificates).
  • Cipher suites — the offered cipher suites are acceptable.
  • TLS 1.2 — TLS 1.2 is supported.
