Hi all

I am going to present two questions with it's solution. Please comment.

Question 1
========

A router has been enrolled to an IOS CA server and the https secure server
should use this certificate using ip http secure-truspoint command for it's
self identity.

Now from a PC, you are trying connect to the router using https with IE
6.0. The task is that,  I should configure the PC, so that I am not
prompted with a pop up for confirmation the cert
is valid.

For this I should do three things


   1. Add the certificates hostname in the Hosts file and access the router
   using hostname that is in the identity cert.
   2. Make sure the clock is set correct and certificate validity period is
   valid.
   3. Install the certificate in the trusted root certificate authorities.

First two, I have no issues.

For the third one, I installed the router's identity certificate along in
the Windows "Trusted root certificate authorities" and that completed the
solution.

Well the question is instead of installing the identity certificate, if I
install the root certificate of the IOS CA server, the Windows should trust
the idenity certificate presented, right?
But that doesn't happen. Logically, that should also work.


Question 2
========

A router should be configured L3 IP NAC. The ACS should not use self signed
certificate rather request a certificate from IOS CA server. Now NAC L3 IP
uses PEAP and thus ACS will be presenting the identity certificate that it
got from the IOS CA server to client for self identity during PEAP
establishment.

The question here, on the client PC for which posture validation is
performed, should I install the identity certificate of CA server or IOS CA
server root certificate or both in  Windows "Trusted root certificate"
authorities.


Please the questions are related.


Please provide your comments.


With regards

Kings
