Working with the M111

Managing certificates

802.1X certificates

802.1X certificates are managed on the Security > 802.1X certificates page.

The M111 supports two 802.1X certificates:

TLS client certificate: Installation of this certificate is mandatory if 802.1X with an EAP method of TLS is configured under Wireless security in a station profile. The M111 will supply this certificate to peers during the authentication process.

Trusted CA certificate: Installation of this certificate is mandatory if 802.1X with an EAP method of TLS, TTLS, or PEAP is configured under Wireless security in a station profile, and the Validate server certificate is also enabled. The M111 will use this certificate to validate certificates supplied by peers during the authentication process.

802.1X — Install TLS client certificate
