Product and Software: This article applies to all Aruba controllers and ArubaOS versions.
A certificate must be installed on the BlackBerry phone for the 802.1x to work, because it needs to validate the server certificate. If the termination is enabled on the controller, make sure that the Equifax certificate is selected to validate the server certificate. Or, install the certificate issued by the local CA.

1) Connect the phone using the USB cable and start your BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
2) If you have not already installed the certificates, click Download the Certificates for Securewireless.
3) Click Synchronize Certificates.
4) Enter your root key password, which is a password that you created when you first started this application. Click Ok.
5) Under Intermediate Certificates and Root Certificates, check the box next to the installed certificate in the Certificate Label column. Click Synchronize.
