Connecting to corporate Wifi network

Hello. I need a bit of assistance in getting our MacBooks connected to our corporate WiFi networks. We are primarily a Windows shop and we use machine based certificates from AD to allow all Windows laptops to connect to the Wifi. The MACS are all joined to the corporate domain and are present in AD. We use our AD account to login the MAC's. What I have done was to export the corporate Root CA, then the machine certificate from one of my windows laptops and finally my personal certificate. They are in the System folder. The last 2 were exported with the private key. I imported them into Keychain on the MAC and after a few admin credential entries, I was able to connect to the WiFi. I went in and made sure the certificates are set to always trust.


The problem is that every time I boot up the MAC, I am being prompted to enter administrator credentials as the Keychain wants to use the System keychain. Its no big deal for me as I am an admin on the Macbook, but I have other users that are not administrators. What setting can I change to remove the Keychain access window from appearing every time?


Thanks in advance..


MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.13

BDAqua - Thank You very much kind sir. That did the trick - so far! I actually have a VPN appliance at my residence and it provides the corporate Wifi and so far, so good on the 2 seperate accounts I have on this MAC. One is not an admin account and it did not prompt me and connected right to the corporate Wifi. So thanks again for you assistance. I am getting better and supporting the MAC's, but this one was a little beyond my experience.


Now just keeping my fingers crossed tomorrow in the office when I set it up with the settings you provided.
