Certificates and ServerAdmin 10.5.4

[ingenious7]

Hi,

I am really battling here.

I have set up a RADIUS server for my wireless clients, and everything is working fine. The only issue I was having is that clients were getting an error regarding the trust on the certificate when trying to log on and the system then doesn’t let them on. Simple I thought – my certificate is self-signed.

I have purchased a signed certificate and have all of the relevant files – I thought I would just be able to “upgrade” my self-signed certificate using the ServerAdmin tools. No luck. I can’t even import the files – ServerAdmin tells me it is not able to do this.

After clicking randomly and messing about for a while the certificates tab on the ServerAdmin now tells me that the certificate is signed by the company I purchased from – but when a client attempts to connect and view the certificate it is still unsigned.

Has anybody had success doing this that could provide me step by step information – MUCH APPRECIATED!

Thanks for the reply. I noticed that I could set the self-signed certificate as always trust on the clients, but shouldn’t the certificate I have purchased be showing that it is trusted already? My biggest issue is that the certificates do not install the way in which you would expect using ServerAdmin.

We’re also having troubles getting Instant SSL certs installed onto our 10.5.4 server. Anyone have any luck with that?
