Please log in for more thread options Thanks, Chris.
I did get this working after all. To answer my own questions:
1. Yes, installing the cert and self-signing worked, but only because
my device allowed it. During my research, I found that a lot of
devices do not allow self-signed certs because they don't trust the
root. Luckily, the first device I had to work with doesn't have that
problem.
2. Yes, I had to manually export and install it, but it was trivially
simple. You export the cert from the MMC to a .cer file. Manually
transfer that to the device, and double-click it.
3. See #1.
