hi,

I have set up on our freeradius server EAP-TLS with a user certificate.

I put together the user certificate + key + CA server in a .p12 file.

At first on android, windows 10 and 11 it is working.

My problem is with windows 7.

*The freeradius log shows this:*

In windows 7 client I looked for some information in the event viewer, but
found nothing.

Anyone else using this method, is having this problem?
