Abstract
Systems and methods for installing network certificates on a client computing device are provided. In some aspects, a method includes automatically determining that the certificate associated with the network is not installed on the computing device. The method also includes determining that the certificate can be installed on the computing device without assistance. The method also includes determining whether end-user input is required to install the certificate. The method also includes, if end-user input is required to install the certificate, displaying a graphical component which prompts an end-user for an input associated with generating the certificate, receiving the input, and providing a request to generate the certificate based on the input. The method also includes, if end-user input is not required to install the certificate, providing a request to generate the certificate. The method also includes storing the certificate. The method also includes connecting to the network using the certificate.
