How to generate certificates for 802.1x authentication for the access points? Thanks.

[dal]

How do i generate certificate requests for use in 802.1x authentication for the access points, as seen under Configuration -> Network Policy -> Additional Settings -> Secure Port Settings?

I tried to set them up with PEAP, but the radius server recieves messages where the username is set to INVALID for some reason.

So either I have to figure out what causes that, or try to use certificates, which is the way I really want to go.

Thanks.

Nothing?

Are there any examples at all out there that is outlining how to do this?

I can't be the only one.

I created a CSR, imported it to our CA server, and created a web server certificate.

But how do I sign it in Hivemanager?

And also; under Secure Port Settings, it asks for a Private Key File.

How do I get that? Do I just link to the same web server certificate?

Thanks.

Thank you for clarifying. To generate a CSR you will want to go to Configuration> Expand the left hand side menu> Advanced Configuration> Keys and Certificates> Server CSR> Fill in the form and click "Create". You can import that into your DC so your DC can sign it.

It is AP250's, connected to a Cisco 2960x.

We use Hivemanager Classic, a standalone version that we host ourselves.

The default certificates will not work, unless we import them into our radius server of course.

What client types are we plugging in to the switch port? The default certs should work fine. Also, what HiveManager platform are you using (HiveManager (formerly NG)(cloud.aerohive.com), or HiveManager Classic (myhive.aerohive.com))?
