Importing the certification from the certification authority (CA certificate)

With the selected authentication method 802.1x / EAP-PEAP a secure transport connection for transmission of login information is established. To insure that this tunnel is set up to the right remote terminal, the WLAN client identifies the server using the issued certificate. Hence, the certificate from the certification authority must be installed on every WLAN client.

In this workshop the web interface of the certificate server is used for installation of the certification authority certificate (CA certificate). For this, the notebook to be connected is first linked per Ethernet with the Window Server network. The web interface of the certificate server is accessible over the following URL: "http://SERVER_IP_Adresse/certsrv/" (e.g. http://192.168.1.10/certsrv/).

With the Download a certification authority certificate option, the root certificate can be transferred onto the notebook (WLAN client).

The certificate is then installed.

Manually select the location where you wish to save the certificate.
