Installing Smoothwall CA Certificate on Android 11 (Galaxy Tab A7)

[ReBoot]

I'm having some problems importing my Smoothwall security certificate on some Android 11 tablets used by teachers for pupil observation.

 

My provider is Suffolk County Council and the filter is a hosted Smoothwall tenant.

 

I have the downloaded certificates in .crt and .cer format on USB storage.

 

To import certificates on Android 11 you have to go through the security menu and select the internal storage containing your certificates. When I do this the dialogue just exits and I'm not seeing any of the certificates in the file browser.

 

I did read that for Android 11 certificates need to be in binary format. Anyone got any experience of this process and the correct format for importing certificates on Android 11.

 

Thanks

I am on an Android 12 device but was able to install the CA as CRT file from the settings with no issues. Not certain why your dialogue disappears - you said you had downloaded to USB storage - have you tried copying them off the USB storage and placed them on internal storage?

Thanks - I will copy to internal storage and try from there.
