QUESTION: How to do a COMPUTER NAME (not user name) 802.1x (RADIUS) authentication with wpa_supplicant in Ubuntu 12.04?

[McArthor Lee]

Hi Jouni,


Yes, I think the problem may lie in the certificate.


I made the certificate by the steps stated in my first email. The "identity" field of wpa_supplicant.conf is computer name "host/ubuntu.nps.test", while the certificate only contains information about the "testadmin" user. The information sent to NPS server is mismatch, I think, but I don't know what's the correct thing to do a computer name authentication.
