PEAP with MSCHAPv2

[Alan Buxey]

Hi,
> Hello everyone.

> Last time I asked about why I need to install a root certificate on all the windows clients I got the answer that it is because PEAP works that way. But when I read about it on other sites it says that EAP-TTLS and PEAP was created so that you wont need client-side certificates?

client-side certificate means a specific cert for the client..not the root CA.

you need a root CA installed because thats that the RADIUS server has been signed with.
if you've used a CA to sign the RADIUS cert that is commonly in the client you wont need
to install the CA...but eg self-signed CA will need to be installed.

> The PEAP0 I want to use is EAP-MSCHAPv2 since that one should not require client-side certificates if I have understood it correctly.

RADIUS server signed by CA
CA needs to be on the client if you want to really trust/verify the cert
