As it takes a while to find the right information through search engines, here's how to install a 3rd-party X.509 CA certificate to the Nokia N73 (and other S60 platform, 3rd edition or later, phones):
- You'll need a DER encoded certificate, PEM doesn't work.
- The web server with the certificate has to return content type application/x-x509-ca-cert
Unfortunately,
CAcert.org's web server currently returns
text/plain for the
DER-encoded class 3 certificate. The
documentation from Nokia describes how to install it by transferring the cert file to the phone. I haven't tried that, though. Instead, I simply copied the DER file to my own web server, which returns the correct content type, and downloaded it from there with the phone.
NB: This applies to certificate authority certs for TLS connections only, not for application signing.
