Deploy certificate using Configuration Profile

[jkaigler]

i am testing a website cert deployment via Configuration Profiles (first time deploying any kind of cert). I have uploaded the cert and I have a question on the password field. Is that password something I can create or a password already associated with the cert?

Do you need to enter a password when you import the certificate to your own machines keychain? (Does the certificate have a private key in other words?)

If not, then you dont need to enter one.

I deployed the cert as a package, but i will keep that in mind for the next time. Thanks!
