XIQ SE and Windows 11 Authentication EAP TLS

[Asifi]

Hello Community,

We have upgraded from Win 10 to Win 11 and are currently using EAP PEAP as the 802.1x authentication method.  I was told this would no longer work with Win 11 and we would need to implement EAP TLS.  I understand EAP TLS is not available for the version of XIQ SE we have - 23.4.12.3.

However, I believe later version of XIQ SE support EAP TLS.  If this is not the case please let me know. Could anyone let me know which minimum version of XIQ SE supports EAP TLS for XIQ SE and will I need a root certificate to be installed on XIQ SE and the NAC devices?

Is there a guide or similar I could use to Implement EAP TLS?

Currently, we use the built in 802.1x authentication via a LDAP server.  This I believe supports MsCHAP, PEAP and EAP-MsCHAPV2 only.

Many Thanks,

Hi.

The Trusted Root CA should be inserted once (per AAA config), but the screen can be reached from multiple places.
add your CA certificate to that screen and you will see...

The AAA config is applied to all relevant Access Control Engines

Hope it helps.

@Zdeněk_Pala Thank you - finally, what format of the Root Certificate to use?

I have the below.

Many Thanks,

I was always using .CER. I would use the second one from your list.

@Zdeněk_Pala - Great, I've done that and will move on.

Many thanks,

@Zdeněk_Pala  - I can generate the server private key and CSR by SSH to the XIQ-SE box?  I don't have to SSH to the NAC box(s)?

Also is SHA1 still used for this ?  I thought this was depreciated.

Thanks,
