User Certificate
To authenticate using the EAP-TLS protocol you will need a user certificate with the private key.
Once you have the user certificate, run the certificate installer from the control panel. The
Microsoft supplicant is used. It does not matter if the Cisco supplicant is installed or not.
Note: It is important that all dates are correct on the VX5 computers when using any type of
certificate. Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not correct authentication
may fail.
If the VX5 was used to request the user certificate, it may have been installed by the CA. To
check if a correct user certificate is installed:
1. Navigate to Start | Run and type mmc.
2. Select File | Add/Remove Snap-in.
3. Click the Add button.
4. Click Certificates, click the Add button and choose My User Account.
5. Click Finish | Close | OK.
6. Expand Certificates – Current User and Personal
7. Click Certificates
8. The user certificate is shown in the right pane, if installed.

If there is no user certificate refer to “Installing a Root CA Certificate” earlier in this chapter.
