PCoIP Zero Client and Host Administrator Guide (Issue 5)
Note: The PCoIP protocol reads just one 802.1x client certificate for 802.1x compliant
networks. Make sure you include all the security information for your PCoIPdevices in that
client certificate. For more information about uploading certificates, see Knowledge Base
support topic 15134-1063 on the Teradici support site. For information on 802.1x certificate
authentication, see Configuring 802.1x Network Device Authentication.
The following are some general guidelines when using 802.1x authentication.
l 802.1x authentication requires two certificates—an 802.1x client certificate and an
802.1x server CA root certificate.
l The 802.1x client certificate must be in .pem format and contain a private key that uses
RSA encryption. If the certificate is in a different format, you must first convert the
certificate, including the private key, to .pem format before uploading it.
l After uploading the 802.1x client certificate from the Certificate Upload page, you must
configure 802.1x authentication from the Network page. This entails enabling 802.1x
authentication, entering an identity string for the device, selecting the correct 802.1x
client certificate from the drop-down list, and then applying your settings.
l The 802.1x server CA root certificate must be in .pem format, but should not need to
contain a private key. If the certificate is in a different format, you must convert it to
.pem format before uploading it. This certificate does not require configuration from the
Network page.
l Both the 802.1x client certificate and the 802.1x server CA root certificate must be less
than 10,240 bytes; otherwise, you will not be able to upload them. Some certificate files
may contain multiple certificates. If your certificate file is too large and it has multiple
certificates within, you can open the file in a text editor, then copy and save each
certificate to its own file.
