  1. Log in to Skyhigh SSE, and go to Settings > Infrastructure > Web Gateway Setup.
  2. Click Configure to the right of Skyhigh Mobile Cloud Security.

  4. Click Upload to select and upload a custom CA certificate (supported certificate formats are DER, PEM, CRT, and CER). 
    The certificate's private key is used to sign the mobile device certificates.
  5. Specify the labels of the fields that identify the User name and an optional User Group in the device certificates. For details on field labels, see Device Certificate Field Labels.
  6. (Optional). To upload certificate chains with both Root and Intermediate certificates:
    1. You must upload both the Root and Intermediate CA's to Secure Web Gateway.
    2. Make sure that the p12 certificate to be deployed on your device is signed by both the Root and Intermediate CAs.

NOTE: You can upload multiple CA certificates to Secure Web Gateway.

 

 

  1. Click Upload & Test to test the device certificate authentication with the uploaded CA certificate.

  2. Click Save.

NOTE: Make sure to note or save the VPN Gateway address to configure SMCS in your Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution.

 

After uploading CA certificates to Secure Web Gateway, you can use the IP address of the VPN gateway to configure your MDM solution. For details, see Step 2: Configure MDM.
