WiFi Certificate Manager appears among platform views, along with a WiFi Configuration view, only if a AX-3.6 or later JACE host that has an installed 802.11b/g wireless WiFi adapter, At the time of this document, this applies only to a JACE-700 with a Mini-PCI WiFi adapter card (T7-WIFI option).

Starting in AX-3.7, this view changed in appearance from the previous (AX-3.6) WiFi Certificate Manager view. It now resembles the (unrelated) platform Certificate Management view, used in SSL support in AX-3.7 and later. However, it uses a different key store, and applies only to WiFi security.

This view lets you import “CA certificate”, “server certificate”, and client “private key” files onto the JACE for use in WiFi security types WPA or WPA2. Usage of these security types (with such digital certificates) are uncommon except in an “enterprise level” network scenario.

The JACE’s running station also has a “WifiPlatformService” among its platform services. However, at the time of this document, anAX-3.7 or later station has no equivalent WiFi Certificate Manager view (under its PlatformServices). If WiFi certificate configuration is required, you must use this view in a platform connection.

Refer to the Engineering Notes II document “NiagaraAX JACE WiFi option” for complete details, including further details on using this view.
