Wireless Certificates

Windows® XP introduced native support for 802.1X and wireless networks. To enable strong security, both users and computers need authentication certificates to authenticate to a RADIUS authorization point. Microsoft Windows 2000 Server–based certification authorities (CAs) support 802.1X certificate requirements for computers with the version 1 computer certificate template and user certificates with any of the certificate templates that contain the Client Authentication enhanced key usage. If version 2 or 3 templates are used for computer autoenrollment, it is important to configure the certificate template properly. When the computer template is cloned to a new template, the administrator must ensure that the DNS name is included in the subject name of the certificate. The Windows XP and Windows Vista® wireless client computers require the DNS name of the computer to be contained in the subject for proper usage and authentication to the RADIUS server.

Important

If the DNS fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is longer than 64 characters, the name will be truncated during certificate enrollment and the name will not be valid for wireless authentication.

Certificate Templates Schema

The Certificate Templates container contains the certificate templates that are defined within an Active Directory® forest. Each certificate template is a member of the class pKICertificate. Each certificate template is managed by using the Certificate Templates snap-in and is stored in the following location in the Configuration naming context: CN=TemplateName,CN=Certificate Templates,CN=Public Key Services,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=ForestRootDomain.
