2.7. Server Certification – 802.1x

Use certificate chain:

When the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication type — such as TLS, TTLS or

PEAP — is selected and requires certification to tell the client what credentials to accept from the

authentication server in order to verify the server, you need to enable this function. Choose the

preferred server from the drop-down menu to issue the certificate. If “Any Trusted CA” is selected, any

CA (certification authority) on the list (which is provided by the Microsoft Certificate Store) is permitted.

Allow intermediate certificates:

A server designates an issuer as a trusted root authority by placing the issuer’s self-signed certificate,

which contains the issuer’s public key, into the trusted root certification authority certificate store of the

host computer. Intermediate or subordinate certification authorities are trusted only if they have a valid

certification path from a trusted root certification authority.

Server Name:

Enter the authentication server name.

Server name must match exactly:

When selected, the server name must exactly match the server name found on the certificate.

Domain name must end in specified name:

When this is selected, the server name field identifies a domain. The certificate must use a server

name belonging to this domain or one of its sub-domains (e.g., zeelans.com, where the server is

blueberry.zeelans.com), but it may be any name used in the certificate name field.
