Retrieve a Certificate From an Application Profile

Retrieving certificates requires extra considerations because it involves more than handling a profile. The system stores most profile payloads locally. However, it does not store AWCertificatePayload locally. To retrieve the certificate, you must wait for notification that the system downloaded the certificate.

The code shows how to retrieve a certificate payload so that your application can consume and use the certificate.

Register the notification observer at start up.
	[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] 
	addObserver:self

		selector:@selector(handleUpdatedProfile:)

			name:AWNotificationCommandManagerInstalledNewProfile
			object:nil];

Implement the handleUpdatedProfile that will receive the notifications when a command is processed and can extract the certificate information.

- (void)handleUpdatedProfile:(NSNotification 
*)notification
{
// Get the profile that just got received in this call; 
it could be an Application Profile, or an SDK Profile.
 
AWProfile *profile = (AWProfile *)notification.object;
 
// IMPORTANT: If expecting an application profile with a 
certificate, you can ONLY obtain the certificate values 
from the notification object.
 
// For security reasons the certificate does not get 
stored locally, like all the other settings in an SDK 
profile
 
if (profile.certificatePayload){
 
AWCertificatePayload *certificatePayload = 
profile.certificatePayload;
 
if ([[certificatePayload certificateData] length] > 0 & & 
[[certificatePayload certificatePassword] length] > 0)
{
 
	NSString *certificateName = [certificatePayload 
	certificateName]; 
	
	NSData *certificateData = [certificatePayload 
	certificateData]; 

	NSString *certificatePassword = [certificatePayload 
	certificatePassword]; 

	// TO DO: Use the certificate here... If you don't 
	consume it here, it will not be available later in 
	the AWCommandManager.
 
	}
}
