Pete,
It depends on what type of 802.1X authentication that you’d like to put in
place.
Most of the time, when we talk about 802.1X, we talk about EAP-PEAP (MSCHAP) to
use domain credentials. We can also use EAP-TLS that requires client
certificate to authenticate rather than credentials.
EAP-PEAP (MSCHAP) will probably require a valid SSL certificate to be
configured on the RADIUS server. That way, clients will not have to make any
modification on their device to trust / untrust the server cert.
EAP-TLS doesn’t require any special certificate, except than the ones you will
be generating to authenticate the users.
Let me know if you need more info.
Cheers!
dw.

Hi there -
Is there a special certificate type that is needed for 802.1X authentication?
How do I go about acquiring the correct type of cert, and applying it to my
PacketFence installation?
I don't see any documentation about this, and am not a certificate guru by any
means.
