Viewing 802.1x Credentials

When 802.1x authentication is configured on a wireless AP, the light bulb icon on the 802.1x tab for the configured AP is lit to indicate which 802.1x authentication method is used. A wireless AP can be configured to use both EAP-TLS and PEAP authentication methods. For example, when both EAP-TLS and PEAP authentication methods are configured for the AP, both light bulb icons on the 802.1x tab are lit.

Note

You can view only the 802.1x credentials of wireless APs that have an active session with the controller. If you attempt to view the credentials of a wireless AP that does not have an active session, the AP Credentials window displays the following message: Unable to query wireless AP: not connected.

To view current 802.1x credentials:

  1. From the top menu, click AP.
  2. In the AP list, click the wireless AP (not the checkbox) for which you want to view its current 802.1x credentials.
  3. Select the 802.1x tab.
  4. In the Current Credentials section, click Get Certificate details. The Wireless AP Credentials window is displayed.
