Authenticating Wired Macs with Microsoft IAS and 802.1X August 21, 2006

Posted by jpayne in : 802.1X, OS/X, Security , trackback

Lets say that you don’t really want users to login, just have a valid certificate.  All your Windows boxes do auto-enrollment and get certificates.   This works transparently.
Macs however…  well, lets just say it took a while to realise that the certificate common name should be the UPN, not the username and not the email address.  Now it works just fine :)   Needless to say, this was a problem with the certificate server’s templates, not with the mac itself.
