Wired 802.1x EAP-TLS with computer authentication

Wired 802.1x EAP-TLS with computer authentication

In this recipe, you will configure and demonstrate wired 802.1x EAP-TLS with computer authentication.

In the example, you will set up FortiAuthenticator as the Root CA and client certificate issuer. The FortiAuthenticator will authenticate user interaction using the domain computer and client certificate (no username or password).

The example includes a native Windows 7 supplicant and a 3rd-party switch (EX2200) to confirm cross-vendor interoperability. It also includes dynamic VLAN assignment on the switch as per the FortiAuthenticator RADIUS attributes.
