Installing the MC and Configuring Your System > Uploading the MC Certificate to an Endpoint

Uploading the MC Certificate to an Endpoint

If your endpoints are configured with a discovery method and security level that require them to have an MC certificate in their trusted certificate store before they can connect to the MC, you can either upload the MC certificate for a group of endpoints using an MC 1 profile, or you can upload the MC certificate locally using each endpoint's AWI. Depending on your security requirements, you can upload either an MC issuer certificate (i.e., the root CA certificate (or intermediate certificate) that was used to issue an MC server certificate) or you can upload the MC server's public key certificate.

For information on MC certificates, please see Managing MC Certificates.

Upgrading Endpoint MC Certificates Using MC 1

Note: All MC certificates must be issued in PEM format.

To update the MC certificate for a group of endpoints using MC 1:

Ensure that the endpoints you wish to update are placed in their own group. Depending on your site configuration, this may require modifications to your DHCP options or DNS SRV records, or it may require disabling persistent auto-configuration or placing the devices into a segregated network with a new MC 1.
From the MC home page, click the PROFILES tab.
Click Add New.
Enter a name and description and then click Save.
In the Profile Management page, click the profile's Set Properties link.
Scroll down to the profile's Certificate Store section and click Add New.
Click Browse, select your MC certificate file (*.pem), and then click Add.
From the main menu, click the GROUPS tab.
In the Group Management page, click the Edit link for group containing your endpoints.
Select the profile you created in the Profile drop-down list and click Save.
Click the Apply Profile link for the group containing your endpoints.
Enter the date and time to apply your profile in the Apply Profile at Date/Time text box and then click OK.

Upgrading the MC Certificate Using the Endpoint's AWI

To update the MC certificate for an individual endpoint using the AWI:

Enter the endpoint's IP address in your browser's address bar and then log in to its AWI.
Select the Upload > Certificate menu.
From the Certificate Upload page, browse to the folder containing the MC certificate file (*.pem).
Double-click the file and then click Upload.
Click OK and then Continue.

For more information about the AWI, please see "PCoIP® Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide" (TER1206003) (for endpoints prior to firmware version 5.0) or "PCoIP® Zero Client Configuration Help" (TER1504003) (for PCoIP Zero Clients running firmware version 5.0+) in the Teradici Support Documentation Center.
