    Hi All

    We have a WLAN infrastruture with MM  and ClearPAss 

    we are able to connect to SSID on several devices ( IOS, Android and linux) but on windows 10 it gives an authentication failure

    EAP-PEAP: fatal alert by client - access_denied
    TLS session reuse error

    on windows 10 do we need to change settings on the wlan profile? like validate server certificate?

    the certificate on CLearpass is a wildcard

    CN=Sectigo RSA Organization Validation Secure Server CA, O=Sectigo Limited, L=Salford, ST=Greater Manchester, C=GB

    Can you help ?

    Windows used to NOT support wildcard certificates for dot1x auth. I haven't tested this recently but you can try reverting to a self signed cert and see if that works or not:

    This is documented in the certificates technote available on support site as well.

    @mattAruba thanks for the info

    we reverted to the public certificate and its working again fine . WildCard does not work in windows 10 as you kindly stated , besides it work on IPS and android fine.

    As a reminder:
    - Don't use wildcard certificates as your RADIUS EAP certificate
    - Use a private CA for your RADIUS EAP certificates whenever possible
    - Use the same RADIUS EAP certficate on all of your ClearPass/RADIUS servers, where the CN or SAN does not need to resolve to anything, so radius.yourdomain.com or auth.yourdomain.com or cppm.you.internal will all work fine.
    - Always configure your clients to validate the server certificate
