    Posted Mar 13, 2020 04:14 AM

    I use EAP-MSCHAP authentication on an aruba wireless controller, and I also use certificates that are already installed on the controller.
    but the problem arises when I use the redundancy controller feature, my certificate cannot be used by the local.

    can ssl wildcard solve this problem?

    You would need to create the certificate request for the server certficate offline so that you can import the same certificate into both controllers.  If you create the certificate request on a controller, you can only import the server certificate into that controller.

    Have you experienced this before?
    said the certificate provider, asking for a certificate Request (CSR) is enough from the side of using the master?

    All the service provider needs is that you want a server certificate for a web server.

    Is that really the best solution for me right now?

    Based on what you told me, yes.

    based on your experience, what should I do so that I can implement 802.1x
    wireless authentication with a redundancy controller?

    If you have a Windows domain, you should install your own Certificate Authority.  For 802.1x you should also install an NPS server and issue a certificate for that server from your Windows certificate authority.  That is because your clients would already trust any certificates your certificate authority issues.  You would only need to request a public server certificate for Captive Portal on your wireless infrastructure, NOT for 802.1x
