ACS 5.2 certificate chain

rchester
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

I have recently installed an SSL certificate provided by my customer (from Commodo) but when I logon to ACS my browser warns that the certificate is not verified upto a trusted CA. This cert is going to be used for EAP-PEAP, EAP-TLS

I think this means that I haven't installed the certificate chain?

Did I make an error when I imported the certificate  (bound it to a previous csr) or is there a another procedure to install a certificate chain to ACS 5.2?

Cheers

Hi

  The error "certificate is not verified upto a trusted CA" means the cert chain i.e. the intermediate and root certificate are not present in the browser store. Hence the browser comes up with the error. Please install this certificate in the CA store in the browser

Thanks

Hi,

If the error is coming on your browser, then it is your browser that does not trust it, so it is on your browser that you need to install the certificate and the intermediate certificates as trusted CA authorities.

If you are planning to use this certificate for EAP-TLS or PEAP, than you will need to do the same action on the client machines if you want the clients to validate the server certificate. If not, you can simple configure the client machiens not to validate the server certificate.

HTH,

Tiago

The idea is to use a certificate that has a CA certificate in the default store of the client devices to avoid having to rollout a certificate (chain or self-signed)  So somehow I have to roll up the chain and install it on the ACS. On CSS this is done by concatenating the text of each signatory and pasting it in to the unit. I guess I want to know how to do the same action with ACS5.2 Or if someone can tell me who supplies direct signed (no chain) certificates that would do nicely Thanks
