## Topics

### Objects

[`AssetCredentialCertificateAuthenticationObject`](/documentation/DeviceManagement/AssetCredentialCertificateAuthenticationObject)

The server authentication details. If this key is absent, the default authentication type is MDM.

[`AssetCredentialCertificateReferenceObject`](/documentation/DeviceManagement/AssetCredentialCertificateReferenceObject)

The external reference. Ensure that the asset data uses a media type of `application/pkcs1` or `application/pem` to correctly identify the type of encoded certificate. If the asset data includes a `ContentType` sub-key, set it to the corresponding media type.
