Assign the
BEMS-Connect
 SSL certificate to users

By default,
BEMS-Connect
 uses a self-signed certificate that is generated by the
BEMS
 installer.
  1. Complete one of the following tasks:
    • If you use the default SSL certificate generated by the
      BEMS
       installer,
      1. In the
        BlackBerry Enterprise Mobility Server Dashboard

      2. Click
        Download SSL Certificate
        . By default, the BemsCert.cer file is saved to the Downloads folder.
    • If you use your own SSL certificate, export the SSL certificate chain from the
      Microsoft
       Management Console (MMC). If you don't know which certificate chain to download, in a command prompt type
      netsh http show sslcert
       to confirm the certificate hash, then use the MMC to locate the certificate where the certificate thumbprint is the same as the certificate hash.
      1. Open the
        Microsoft
