Load a Certificate
To use transport layer security (TLS) with WPA or 802.1x security, you
need a unique client certificate on the CN50 and a trusted root

cryptographic data that guarantee a public key is associated with a
private key. They contain a public key and the entity name that owns
the key. Each certificate is issued by a certificate authority.
