Certificate Table

The certificate table has two sections:
  • External Certificates: Certificates do not have a template in SOTI MobiControl. Users may have uploaded them directly to SOTI MobiControl as a file or deleted their templates.
  • Managed Certificates: Certificates generated through a SOTI MobiControl template, including device certificates issued from the SOTI MobiControl root certificate.
