EAP-TLS Authentication Configuration
To authenticate using the EAP-TLS protocol you need a user certificate file and a private key file.
Once you have the user certificate files run the certificate installer from the Microsoft control
panel. For EAP-TLS it does not matter which Cisco cab file is installed.
Note: It is important that all dates are correct on CE mobile devices when using any type of
certificate. Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not correct authentication will
fail.
User Certificate
To check if a user certificate is installed navigate to Start | Control Panel | Certificates.
Set the drop down box to My Certificates as shown below.
The correct user certificate should be shown in the pane.
Cisco Certificate Stores
Tap the View . . . button.
Set the Field to Private Key.
From the Field pull down menu, select Private Key.
If the private key is present, the process is complete.
If the private key is not present, import the private key.
If there is no user certificate refer to User Certificates in this chapter, to acquire a user certificate
and private key file.
