How to Enroll for a Certificate Using the Modified Settings (Windows CE 5.0)
In this procedure, you will use the New Platform wizard to create an Enterprise Web Pad for a CEPC or for an Emulator. With the Enterprise Web Pad run-time image that you create, you will enroll for a certificate from a certificate server using the enrollment options specified in Enroll.cfg. Modifying the .cfg file allows you to specify enrollment details particular to your certificate server.
