UEM and certificates on C Drive

[robg2312]

Hi,

Our clients are using certificates for their online banking that we want to manage using UEM.

The certificates have to be located on the root of the C Drive for the banking site to detect and utilise them.

Is there a way for UEM to manage these certificates on the C Drive?

Thanks

Hi,

UEM can only manage settings in the profile of the user, so it is not possible to manage the certificates located on the C: drive.

Kind regards,

Raymond

Technically it is possible to manage locations outside of the user profile with a few steps. This should be used sparingly and targeted to ensure you don't fill up profiles with large files.

- Create a new config file under Personalization:

[IncludeFolderTrees]

<AppData>\BankingCerts

- Script 1: Create a batch file using xcopy/ robocopy to %appdata%\BankingCerts to a location outside of the user profile.

- Script 2: Create a batch using xcopy/ robocopy to copy the certs from a location is outside your user profile to %appdata%\BankingCerts

- Within your UEM config file on the User Environment tab, create a Post-Import task to run Script 1.

- Same place, create a Pre-Export task to run Script 2.

I may have gotten my logic slightly off as this is from memory, but it does work well. You can always use something like BAT to EXE Converter to wrap your batch files as executables and hide any cmd pop-ups from view.
