iOS 14 & 802.1x authentication I'm banging my head against the wall on this issue, and I'm afraid it'll only become worse as more devices update to any version of iOS/iPadOS 14. We have an 802.1x network for staff, which is working just fine for MacBooks, Windows devices, and most iPads, but users running iOS/iPadOS 14 are no longer able to connect to the staff network. Typically, a user will enter their AD credentials, trust a certificate from our domain controller, and be on their way. Now, you just get a 'Unable to join the network "XX-Staff"'. The issue doesn't seem to be server-side, as there aren't even any logs for the user being denied or failing to authenticate. We have one DC handing out a cert with a 1024-bit RSA key, which works just fine on iOS 12 & 13, but we cannot get any device on 14.0.1, 14.1, or 14.2 to accept the cert. We just get the error that XX-Staff cannot be joined. We even set up another test network with the same authentication settings, which is using a cert from another domain controller with a 2048-bit RSA key, and we can't get that to work on 14. I also know that the new private address option isn't an issue; whether that is on or off makes no difference. Is there something I'm missing?

Can't Do Anything Manually About "Trust Certificate" Hello! My iPhone 12 mini does not have the manually adjustable "Trust Certificate" page and I want to know how I can change that. When I try to use a certain types of public wifi, mostly at stores and shops in downtown, my old hotmail certificate pops up as "untrusted". It literally blocks me from getting on the wifi that I need to use, and I do not remember using hotmail on this phone, at least for the past 10 plus years. My solution to this is to reset the network setting, restart the phone and try it again. It has worked at some places like Starbucks for instance, but not always. I have kept resetting the setting having to be bothered to type in all the passwords that the phone was supposed to reserve for me. And it does not work all the time, and most of the time I just have to give up and hope for the miracles. I do not understand that it keeps showing "hotmail certificate"! It looks like there are some sorts of wifi that cause it to happen. It feels wrong to have it in the system, especially when it messes around like that. Can I delete it completely? Another problem is that my iphone does not seem to have the manual adjustment function. It says 2022070700 for the "Trust Store Version" and "Trust Asset Version" is 20, and I cannot change that. There is nothing below them, nothing to toggle or click on. How can I manually trust the certs that pop up like that? The iOS Version is 16.3.1, and I have one physical SIM and one e-SIM. The phone is not broken. Please, can someone help me out? Thank you in advance.

You only need the Wi-Fi password to connect to that network.

That certificate is used for web pages viewed in a browser.
