ACS 5 certification validation

[JPavonM]

Dear All,

I want ACS 5 to authenticate the wireless users validating each user with a certificate. The ACS is connected to the AD but, is it possible to do that using user/password from the certificate?, i need to do that with certificate and independant of the AD certificates of each user, so it will be scalable.

How i can do that?

Can you plz clarify more?

You can use certificates on users to authenticate (use eap-tls) and you can configure users to use username from certificate.

Is this what you wanted to know?

From the client that connects you need to choose what username to use: from certificate or not. in case not from certificate you have to provide the username and the password (either saved or on the propmt everytime you connect).

On windows 7 for example I think it uses the username in the certificate by default unless you specify that you want to user independent username and password:

From my nokia device I have the choise to choose if I want to use the username from the certificate or not. In case not from certificate I have to provide the username and the password.
