Sending client certificates to devices and apps using user credential profiles

User credential profiles allow devices to use client certificates obtained by the following methods:
  • Manually uploading certificates to the
    BlackBerry UEM
    management console or, in an on-premises environment, to
    BlackBerry UEM Self-Service
  • An established connection between
    BlackBerry UEM
    and your organization’s
    Entrust
    CA or
    OpenTrust
    CA
  • For
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    apps on
    Android
    devices, certificates stored in the device native keystore
  • For
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    apps, through an established
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    PKI connector connection
  • For
    BlackBerry Dynamics
    apps, using an app-based PKI solution such as
    Purebred
    .
If users manually upload certificates in
UEM Self-Service
, you can see the certificate on the user page in the management console. You can also delete or replace the certificate. This feature is not supported in
BlackBerry UEM Cloud
.
User credential profiles are supported on
iOS
and
Android
devices. App-based PKI solutions are supported for
BlackBerry Dynamics
apps on
iOS
and
Android
devices. Manually uploading certificates is supported for
iOS
,
Android Enterprise
, and
Samsung Knox Workspace
.
For more information about connecting
BlackBerry UEM
to your organization's PKI software, see Integrating BlackBerry UEM with your organization's PKI software.
Alternatively, you can use SCEP profiles to enroll client certificates to devices. You can also upload certificates directly to a user account. The type of profile you choose depends on how your organization uses the PKI software, the types of devices your organization supports, and how you want to manage certificates.
