    I am not sure if this question got answered.

     

    We have a domain controller with IAS installed. Some of the computers are in WORKGROUP and some have jointed domain.

     

    The computers joined the domain has no problem getting authenticated as the domain pushed the server certificate on first connection.

     

    Computers in WORKGROUP cannot be authenticated as the server certificate is not installed.

     

    Is there any way that we can do to automatically push server certificate upon first login.

     

    When login with Mac OS, the certificate is automatically pushed and received fro IAS.

     

    Thank you for the help!

     

    Regard,

    WIlson

    Non-domain computers do not have this capability, so it is not possible to do this automatically.

    Are you using a private or publicly signed cert?

    If it's public, there is no need to push anything to the device. It should already have the root CA.

    Cappalli,

      It is privately signed cert. The cert will be used within our campus domain.

     

    Thank you for the help!

    You could use ClearPass QuickConnect to put the network configuration and certificate authority on the device.
