Q: 802.1x computer-based network authentication (machine certificate)

Hello,

I am using my MBP for work and want to connected to my work's network.

We are using 802.1x network authentication, based on a computer certificate. I joined my computer to our Microsoft Active Directory and created a computer certificate, which I imported successfully to "System" store.

Only "Error description" is, that my MBP tries to authenticate as "User".

How do I configure my network settings, to use "computer-based authentication" and use the computer certificate?

Regards,
Ben

Thanks, but in my case there is no administrator who send me that configuration profile. I have to create a configuration profile for myself.

I could create a configuration profile for my client and basically it uses a computer certificate to authenticate with the network. But finally the process is cancelled by the client. I tried the steps at OS X Server: How To Configure RADIUS Server Trust in Configuration Profiles when using TLS, TTLS, or PEAP - Apple Suppor… but finally the authentication was cancelled by client, with error ".. server certificate not trusted"

How should the computer certificate look like?
Is there a manual for the CA template?

Regards,
Ben
