Configuring and Using Certificates with AAA FastConnect
The switch supports 802.1X authentication using digital certificates for AAA FastConnect.
n Server Certificate—A server certificate installed in the switch verifies the authenticity of the switch for
802.1X authentication. Alcatel-Lucent switches ship with a demonstration digital certificate. Until you install
a customer-specific server certificate in the switch, this demonstration certificate is used by default for all
secure HTTP connections (such as the WebUI and captive portal) and AAA FastConnect. This certificate is
included primarily for the purposes of feature demonstration and convenience, and is not intended for
long-term use in production networks. Users in a production environment are urged to obtain and install a
certificate issued for their site or domain by a well-known certificate authority (CA). You can generate a
Certificate Signing Request (CSR) on the switch to submit to a CA. For information on how to generate a CSR
and how to import the CA-signed certificate into the switch, see Managing Certificates on page 854.
n Client Certificates—Client certificates are verified on the switch (the client certificate must be signed by a
known CA) before the username is checked on the authentication server. To use client certificate
authentication for AAA FastConnect, you need to import the following certificates into the switch (see
Importing Certificates on page 857):
l Switch’s server certificate
l CA certificate for the CA that signed the client certificates
