EUCEUC: Advanced Integrations - 2019 Day 3Windows 10 Certificate Single Sign On using an AirWatch Certificate Authority

Windows 10 Certificate Single Sign On using an AirWatch Certificate Authority

In this lab you will be deploying a certificate to an enrolled Windows 10 virtual machine. This certificate will be generated by the built-in CA in Workspace ONE UEM.

We will later configure Workspace ONE Access to trust certificates issues by UEM and configure the Certificate (Cloud Deployment) authentication adapter.

Finally we will test everything on a Windows 10 Machine to ensure we are able to have a seamless authentication experience.
