Android setup
To join the company Wi-Fi without typing a password, a certificate is installed on your device. On Android this has two stages: install the certificate, then fill in a few fields in the Wi-Fi settings.
Before you start
- You need the setup link from your administrator. It may also arrive by SMS.
- The link is valid for 15 minutes. If it expires, fill the form again.
- Menu names vary slightly between phone brands.
1. Download the certificate
- Open the link and enter your work username and password.
- Tap Download certificate.
- A certificate password appears on screen. You will need it in the next step, so keep the page open.
2. Install the certificate
- Go to Settings > Security > Encryption & credentials > Install a certificate.
- Choose Wi-Fi certificate.
- Select the file you downloaded and enter the certificate password shown on screen.
- Your phone may also ask for its screen lock. That is your own PIN or pattern.
3. Join the network
Tap the company network in your Wi-Fi list and fill in these fields:
| EAP method | TLS |
| CA certificate | select the certificate you installed |
| User certificate | select the certificate you installed |
| Identity | your username |
| Domain | the server name your administrator gave you |
Then tap Connect.

Domain: do not leave it empty. If it is blank the phone reports "Couldn't connect" and the request never reaches the server.
Common questions
The phone asked for a password during installation. Which one?
There are two. The certificate password shown on screen opens the file. The screen lock your phone asks for is your own PIN or pattern; Android protects stored certificates with it.
What is installed on my personal phone?
Only a certificate used to join the company Wi-Fi. Your device is not placed under management and its contents are not accessible.
