Management apparatus for managing wireless parameter, control method for the management apparatus, and computer program for instructing computer to execute the control method

A method for a management apparatus configured to provide a wireless parameter to a wireless communication apparatus based on a wireless parameter setting method, the method comprising:

• detecting a timing related to a wireless parameter setting processing by the wireless parameter setting method
• obtaining a certificate for authenticating whether the wireless communication apparatus is a valid terminal, from the certificate authority, in response to the detected timing;
• providing the wireless parameter and the certificate to the wireless communication
• apparatus in case that the wireless parameter is provided to the wireless communication apparatus based on the wireless parameter setting method;
• activating a timer for measuring a time period to delete the certificate, wherein the certificate is deleted when the timer period expires;
• measuring a time period required for obtaining the certificate;
• and
• selecting a timing functioning as a trigger for obtaining the certificate from among a plurality of timings related to the wireless parameter setting processing based on the wireless parameter setting method in accordance with the measured time period.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable process steps, the computer-executable process steps causing a computer to execute the method comprising:

• detecting a timing related to a wireless parameter setting processing by the wireless parameter setting method;
• obtaining a certificate for authenticating whether the wireless communication apparatus is a valid terminal, from the certificate authority, in response to the detected timing;
• providing the wireless parameter and the certificate to the wireless communication apparatus in case that the wireless parameter is provided to the wireless communication apparatus based on the wireless parameter setting method;
• activating a timer for measuring a time period to delete the certificate, wherein the certificate is deleted when the timer period expires;
• measuring a time period required for obtaining the certificate;
• and
