Choosing the Right Certificate for EAP-TLS Authentication in Cisco Meraki Wi-Fi Integration
Multi-Factor Authentication
Overview
To choose the right certificate for EAP-TLS authentication in Cisco Meraki Wi-Fi integration, the administrator needs to consider several factors, including the type of certificate, the certificate authority, the certificate attributes, and the certificate installation process. The type of certificate required depends on the client device and the network configuration. The certificate authority must be trusted by both the client and the server, and the certificate attributes must match the network requirements.
Applies To
  • Cisco Meraki Wi-Fi
  • Certificates
  • Security
  • Integration
Solution

Okta provides a Certificate Authority (CA) functionality as a convenience for managing and securing endpoints, such as web applications. However, the Okta CA functionality is limited to issuing and managing certificates for Okta-managed resources, and it may not provide the full certificate chain in all cases.

 

In the context of integrating Cisco Meraki Wi-Fi, it should be noted that while Okta's Certificate Authority (CA) functionality can provide convenience for management and endpoint security attestation, it may not be adequate for all certificate-related needs. This is because EAP-TLS authentication, which is used for secure communication between the client and the network, requires digital certificates from both the client and the server. While Okta's CA functionality can issue and manage certificates for Okta-managed resources, it may not provide the full certificate chain needed for EAP-TLS authentication with Cisco Meraki Wi-Fi, which may require third-party certificates or additional certificate management.
