Edit Reason: fix my blunder with iOS description
)
First, a quibble. The manual generation of a ca-certificate is mentioned but the procedure isn't spelled out. Should there be some sort of "out of scope of this document" statement as I recall one of Robert's documents saying?
Second, for my Google Pixel 6a phone (Android 15), the steps described fall down at the point in step 7 where I select the ca-certificate from the Downloads. I never get to choose "Install". Instead, I get a message saying something like "private key required to install a certificate". It disappears quickly, leaving me back at the "Install a certificate" screen. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious?
Third, for my Apple iPad (iOS 18.3.1), I use the Google Mail app. When I click on the attachment, I get a popup telling me the attachment name, that it's an X.509 certificate, and it's size in bytes.
Ok, so I send the email to my supersecret iCloud email account and open it in the Apple Mail app on my iPad. Now I can complete the first 6 steps for iOS. On the 7th step, I can see and examine the moOde certificate but i haven't found a way to install it (no visible Install button or such). I don't get any slider to
ETA (Sorry, major brain fart there) Now I can complete the first 4 steps for iOS. On the 5th step, I can see and examine the moOde certifcate but I get no indication that I can install it.
When I get time I'll check the procedure with my Win10 and Win11 virtual hosts. When I get more time, I'll see what can be done on my Linux laptop.
