To install a client certificate on a ChromeOS device for corporate Wi-Fi connectivity, it's necessary to

force-install the custom extension containing the certificate. This ensures the extension is installed

and activated on the device, enabling it to use the certificate for authentication. Here's how it works:

Custom Extension: The admin creates or obtains a custom extension that includes the client

certificate.

Force-Installation: Using the Google Admin console, the admin configures a policy to force-install the

extension on ChromeOS devices within the organization.

Device Activation: Once the device receives the policy, the extension is automatically installed and

activated, even if the user doesn't manually add it.

Wi-Fi Authentication: The installed extension allows the device to use the client certificate for

authentication when connecting to the corporate Wi-Fi network.

Option A is incorrect because guest mode installations are not persistent and won't apply the

certificate to the device's Wi-Fi settings.

Option B is incorrect because distributing through the Chrome Web Store is not necessary for a

custom extension intended for internal use.

Option D is incorrect because while the certificate encoding is important, it's not the primary step for

enabling Wi-Fi authentication.
