Configure 802.1x network security and manage user
certificates
You can enable 802.1x security and configure the EAP method for the Pearl device to use for secure network
access using the Admin panel. Supported EAP methods include:
l PEAP (default)
l EAP-TLS
l EAP-TTLS
Important considerations
l If TLS authentication is used on the network, then you need to get a user certificate and a user private key
from the network administrator and upload those to your Pearl device as part of this procedure.
l Before you proceed with this setup, check that the network server's signed CA certificate appears in the
list of CA certificates on the Pearl device and is valid, see
Manage CA and self-signed certificates .
l If the network server's CA certificate doesn't appear in the list of signed CA certificates and you can't
obtain a valid signed CA certificate for network server authentication, do not check Verify server's identity
when performing this setup.
l Security certificates must be PEM encoded.
