Hi All

Can the NAC push a certificate to a device, to use for authentication?

Thx

NAC does not have the ability to install certificates or provision 802.1x supplicants with the correct authentication configuration on end systems.

Thanks

Hi James

Thank you, yes my questions was related to the client device certificate.

Thx

I think Andre is asking about client devices, not NAC devices managed by EMC. The answer is no, you'll need a third-party product like CloudPath, SecureW2 or an MDM that supports SCEP to push out a profile with the RADIUS cert and request a client cert.

Okay, A replaced NAC could have the certificate enforced down to the device, but a new NAC will need to go through the process outlined in this document to install the certificates on a per-nac basis. Since your using 802.1x, you will need to go through the CSR process as well.
