# Defining Trusted Root Certificates

An Intel AMT system must have a trusted root certificate to use any of these features:

- Remote Access using a Management Presence Server
- Mutual authentication in Transport Layer Security
- Most types of 802.1x setups

To define the trusted root certificates:

1. From the relevant feature window, click Edit List. The Trusted Root Certificates Used In Profile window opens.

2. To add a trusted root certificate, click Add. The Add Trusted Root Certificate window opens.

3. Select one of these:
   - From Certificate Authority – From the drop-down list, select the Trusted Root Certification Authority (CA).
   - From File – Enter the path to the file or click Browse to locate and select a certificate. The file must be in base64 PEM format.

     Note:
     You can only add a certificate from a CA if the certificate is self-signed and the CA is a root CA. You cannot add a certificate from a subordinate CA.

4. Click OK. The Path to Root Certificate window closes and the certificate shows in the Trusted Root Certificates Used In Profile window.
5. Select the check box of at least one of the trusted root certificates in the list.
6. Click OK. The Trusted Root Certificates Used In Profile window closes.
