I will be using Windows 7 in my example.Īnd there are two certificates that we require: Windows computer: Used to request the user certificate for the Android device.Certificate Authority: required to generate the user certificate.Android Device: I’m using my Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.x.There are three devices that we require for this lesson:
In this lesson, I will be using a Windows Server 2008 machine running Certificate Services to generate a client certificate for my Android device. If you don’t have a RADIUS server and Certificate Authority yet then you should take a look at my PEAP and EAP-TLS on Windows Server 2008 lesson. This is the most secure method of authentication when it comes to wireless networks but it requires some more effort as you require certificates on the server and each client device. In this lesson, I want to demonstrate to you how to install a user certificate on an Android device so that you can authenticate to a wireless network using EAP-TLS.
