Configuring 802.1x EAP-TLS Authentication in Pass Through Mode Using Multi-edit

When you configure 802.1x EAP-TLS authentication in pass through mode using Multi-edit, do one of the following:

  • Generate a certificate for each AP using the third-party Certificate Authentication application. When generating the certificates:
    • Use the Common name value (either Name, Serial, or MAC) of the AP to name each generated certificate.
    • Use a common password for each generated certificate.
    • All .pfx files created by the third-party Certificate Authentication application must be zipped into one file.
  • Generate one certificate, using the third-party Certificate Authentication application, to be applied to all APs. When generating the certificate, use the Common name value (either Name, Serial, or MAC) of the wireless AP to name the generated certificate.
