CloudPath SaaS EAP-TLS computer authentication

[vadim_matusovsk]

Hello,

I have implemented an Unleashed solution with ICXs, R320s, and CloudPath SaaS.

We are a cloud native org, and using AAD as IDP for our applications.

We are using AAD with CloudPath utilizing SAML for integration and user authentication for onboarding to WiFi.

The process is simple, the user accesses the Cloudpath onbaording URL, gets redirected to AAD, authenticates, and downloads the app for the Certificate and WiFi configuration.

All our users are using Windows 10 devices.

I have noticed that when Windows boots up, it is not connecting to WiFi, after the user logs in, the WiFi connects.

I have investigated this, and found the the authentication is a user authentication, and this explains the behavior.

I would like to change the EAP-TLS to computer authentication, so that WiFi could connect before the user logs in.

Could you advise please ?

Thanks,

Vadim.

Hello Vadim,

It should not affect any existing certificates by making that change, since this is how the certificate is stored on that local machine, so it will only affect new deployments.

Hi,

Changed to Machine but still the certificate installed under the user store.

If I export the certs from the user store, and import the computer store it does auth pre-login.

Any advise ?

Thanks,

Vadim.

@vadim_matusovsky  if you change all 3 settings to "Machine/Machine/Machine Only", and publish a snapshot. The cert should then be installed in the Machine store, and if we connect to the WLAN using "Machine Only" as the auth type, this will work both pre and post login. We shouldn't need to do any export if we make the necessary config changes, publish a snapshot, then re-enroll the device. See attached screenshots.
