Linux client request certificates from windows NPS server

Question

I am setting up EAP-TLS authentication using the manual https://networklessons.com/wireless/peap-and-eap-tls-on-server-2008-and-cisco-wlc/ .

My server and client details are below:

Server: NPS 2008

Client: Linux

I generated the server certificates on the NPS server as well as the CA cert. I imported the CA cert to the Linux server but after this the manual I am using tells me to log into the IP of server using a web browser and request client certificate from there.This is the part I am stuck in.

I tried curl -k https://< ip of server > but this returned an error:

curl:(7) couldn't connect to host error.

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Have you checked:

• httpd is running on the server
• httpd is listening for TCP on port 443 (I like ProcessMonitor from MS for this)
• https://localhost/ access from the NPS server (to itself) works as expected
• firewall on the server is shut down or is allowing https access on the correct network interface
• https://ip_address/ access from the NPS server (to itself) works as expected
• https access works from another client on the same LAN segment
