Wow - this has been really a cluster to say the least.
We finally got the system to connect to the wireless network, using the user certificate from the server (downloaded only the cert, not the entire chain), then in the wireless configuration, using the downloaded user cert (p12), but not adding a CA in (that just doesn't seem right to me but it's working)
The certificates that we export from the Clearpass server are odd - the user cert, has the user certificate first then the root, then the intermediate server listed - very odd and it's not working correctly. VIA connects for about 3 seconds then disconnects - sometimes I see errors in the Clearpass logs - lately not so much.
Looking in the Linux logs, we see invalid cert errors - so it seems like we are just going in circles.
VIA doesn't look at the system store for the CA's - you have to import them in individually - again - not really ideal and still not working correctly.
So after beating our heads on this all day giving it a rest for the weekend.
I still have hope somebody out there has gone over this ground and has some thoughts.
thanks!
